Starting passing assistance with
Pilot Assist
Several conditions must be met for passing
assistance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
your vehicle must be following a vehicle
•
ahead (target vehicle)
your vehicle's current speed must be
•
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
the set speed for Pilot Assist must be high
•
enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistance

limitations
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced
in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions
suddenly change when using Parking Assis-
tance, the function may implement an unde-
sired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
the vehicle is approaching an exit in the
•
same direction as passing would normally
occur
the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-
•
cle has had time to switch to the passing
lane
traffic in the passing lane slows down
•
a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven in
•
a country with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-
rarily putting Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Switching target vehicles with Pilot
Assist
At certain speeds, models with automatic trans-
missions and Pilot Assist can switch target vehi-
cles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be
stationary traffic ahead.
When Pilot Assist is actively following another
vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and
switches targets from a moving vehicle to a sta-
tionary vehicle, Pilot Assist will brake for the sta-
tionary vehicle.
