WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have
trouble helping the driver properly or may
be deactivated automatically – we advise
against using Pilot Assist in such cases.
Examples of such situations include:
the lane markings are unclear, worn,
•
missing, cross each other, or there are
multiple sets of road markings.
the lane division changes, e.g. when
•
lanes split or merge, and at off-ramps.
when there is road construction and
•
sudden changes to the road surface,
e.g. when the lines may no longer mark
the correct route.
edges or other lines than lane markings
•
are present on or near the road, e.g.
curbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-
face, edges of barriers, roadside edges
or strong shadows.
the lane is narrow or winding.
•
the lane contains ridges or holes.
•
weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,
•
snow or fog or slush or reduced visibil-

ity with poor light conditions, back-
lighting, wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist
has the following limitations:
High curbs, roadside barriers, tempo-
•
rary obstacles (traffic cones, safety bar-
riers, etc.) are not detected. Alterna-
tively, they may be detected incorrectly
as lane markings, with a subsequent
risk of contact between the vehicle and
such obstacles. The driver is responsi-
ble for ensuring that the vehicle main-
tains a suitable distance from such
obstacles.
The camera and radar sensors do not
•
have the capacity to detect all oncom-
ing objects and obstacles in traffic
environments, e.g. potholes, stationary
obstacles or objects that completely or
partially block the route.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
•
animals, etc.
The steering assistance is limited in
•
force, which means that Pilot Assist
cannot always help the driver to steer
and keep the vehicle within the lane.
In vehicles equipped with Sensus
•
Navigation*, the function is able to use

information from map data, which
could cause variations in performance.
Pilot Assist will be switched off if the
•
speed-dependent power steering
wheel resistance is working at reduced
power, e.g. during cooling due to over-
heating.
WARNING
Pilot Assist should only be used if there are
clear lane lines painted on each side of the
lane. All other use will increase the risk of
contact with nearby obstacles that cannot
be detected by the functions.
* Option/accessory.
