Temporarily deactivating steering
assistance with Pilot Assist*
Pilot Assist steering assistance can be tem-
porarily deactivated and reactivated without
prior warning.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's
steering assistance will be temporarily deacti-
vated. When the turn signal is switched off,
steering assistance will be automatically reac-
tivated if the traffic lane's side markings can
still be detected.
If Pilot Assist cannot clearly interpret the
lane's side marker lines or if the camera/radar
sensor is unable for some other reason to
clearly interpret the lane, Pilot Assist will tem-
porarily deactivate steering assistance. How-
ever, the speed and distance warnings will
remain active. Steering assistance will resume
when the side marker lines can once again be
interpreted. In these situations, the driver may
be alerted through slight vibrations in the
steering wheel that steering assistance is tem-
porarily deactivated.

Pilot Assist is a driver support function
designed to simplify driving and assist the
driver in many situations. However, the driver
is always responsible for maintaining a suita-
ble distance to vehicles or objects around it
and ensuring that the vehicle is correctly posi-
tioned in the traffic lane.
