Activating and starting Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist must first be activated and then
started to be able to control speed and distance
and to give steering assistance.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary
depending on car model.
In order to start the Pilot Assist it is required that:
•
The driver's seatbelt must be buckled and
the driver's door must be closed.
•
There must be a vehicle (the "target vehicle")
within reasonable distance in front of the car,
or the current speed must be at least
15 km/h (9 mph).
•
For cars with manual gearbox. Speed must
be at the lowest 30 km/h (20 mph).

Pilot Assist steering assistance
is only active when the steering
wheel symbol (2) has changed
from GREY to GREEN.
Pilot Assist only regulates the
time interval to the vehicle
ahead when the distance symbol shows a vehicle
(1) above the steering wheel symbol.
At the same time a speed
range is marked.
The higher speed is the
stored/selected speed and the
lower speed is that of the vehi-
cle ahead (target vehicle).
Hands on the steering wheel
In order for Pilot Assist to function, the driver's
hands must be on the steering wheel. If Pilot
Assist detects that the driver is not holding the
steering wheel, the driver is prompted to actively
steer the car via a text message and an acoustic
signal.
(2).
If Pilot Assist still cannot detect that the driver is
holding the steering wheel, the function shifts to
standby mode. Pilot Assist must then be restar-
ted with the steering wheel button
NOTE
Note that Pilot Assist only works when the
driver has hands on the steering wheel.
