In standby mode, the driver will have to regulate
the vehicle's speed and the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and your
vehicle comes too close to another vehicle, the
driver will be alerted by the Distance Alert func-
tion.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and put in
standby mode if:
•
the brakes are applied
•
The gear selector is moved to N
•
the turn signals are used for more than
1 minute
•
the vehicle is driven faster than the set
speed for more than 1 minute.
A temporary increase in speed, such as when
passing another vehicle, does not affect the Pilot
Assist set speed. The vehicle will return to the set
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's
steering function will be temporarily deactivated.
When this is no longer the case, the steering
function will reactivate if the traffic lane's side
marker lines can still be detected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist interacts with other systems, such as
Electronic Stability Control. If any of these other
systems are not functioning properly, Pilot Assist
will automatically be deactivated.
WARNING
If this happens, the driver will be alerted by an
audible signal and a message in the instru-
ment panel. The driver will have to adapt the
vehicle's speed, apply the brakes when nec-
essary and keep a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Pilot Assist switches automatically to standby
mode if:
•
the vehicle's speed is below approx. 3 mph
(5 km/h) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if
a vehicle ahead is a stationary vehicle or an
object.
•
the vehicle's speed is below approx. 3 mph
(5 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns so that
Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow
(target vehicle).
•
the driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel
•
the driver's door is opened
•
the driver unbuckles the seat belt
•
engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
•
the wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is too high
•
the parking brake is set
•
The camera lens/radar sensor is covered by
e.g., snow or if heavy rain interferes with
radar waves
