DRIVER SUPPORT
||
If Pilot Assist detects that the
driver's hands are not on the
steering wheel, a symbol and
text message will appear to
instruct the driver to actively
steer the vehicle.
If the driver's hands are still detected on the
steering wheel after a few seconds have passed,
the instructions to actively steer the vehicle will
be repeated, accompanied by an audible signal.
If Pilot Assist still does not detect the driver's
hands on the steering wheel after a few more
seconds have passed, the audible signal will
become intense and the steering function will
switch off. Pilot Assist must then be reactivated
by pressing the button on the steering
wheel.
NOTE
Note that the Pilot Assist function only works
when the driver's hands are on the steering
wheel.
