Automatic braking with Pilot Assist*

Automatic braking with Pilot Assist works as fol-
lows.
For shorter stops in connection with inching for-
ward in slow traffic or at traffic lights, driving is
automatically resumed if the stops do not exceed
about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the
car in front starts moving again then the Pilot
Assist is set in standby mode with automatic
braking.
– Pilot Assist is reactivated in the following
way:
•
Press the steering wheel button
•
Depress the accelerator pedal.
> Pilot Assist resumes following the vehicle
ahead if it starts moving forward within
6 seconds.
NOTE
Pilot Assist can hold the car stationary for a
maximum of 5 minutes - then the parking
brake is applied and the function is disen-
gaged.
Before Pilot Assist can be reactivated, the
parking brake must be released.
Cessation of automatic braking
In some situations, automatic braking ceases on
coming to a standstill and Pilot Assist is set in
standby mode. This means that the brakes are
released and the car may start to roll - the driver
must therefore intervene and brake the car him-
self/herself to keep it stationary.
This may take place in the following situations:
•
the driver puts his/her foot on the brake
pedal
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the gear selector is moved to P, N, or R posi-
tion
•
the driver sets Pilot Assist in the standby
mode.
.
Automatic activation of parking brake
In certain situations the parking brake is applied
to keep the car stationary.
This takes place if:
•
the driver opens the door or takes off his/her
seatbelt
•
Pilot Assist has kept the car stationary for
more than approx. 5 minutes
•
the brakes have overheated
•
the engine is switched off.
