DRIVER SUPPORT
||
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys-
•
tem. The driver is always responsible
and must intervene if the system fails
to detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for people
•
or animals and does not brake for small
vehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-
cles. Similarly, it does not brake for low
trailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-
tionary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demanding
•
situations, such as in city traffic, at
intersections, on slippery surfaces,
with a lot of water or slush on the road,
in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads, or on on/off ramps.
The driver can always correct or adjust steer-
ing assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turn-
ing the steering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven
on flat roads. The function may not be able to
maintain the correct time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead when driving down steep hills. The
driver should be extra attentive and prepared
to apply the brakes.
292
Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carrying
a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bike carrier or similar is connected to the
vehicle electrical system.
Drive mode unavailable
Off Road
The drive mode cannot be selected
when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.
