Deactivating/activating the
Pilot Assist*
Pilot Assist can be temporarily deactivated so
that it is set in the standby mode and can be
reactivated later.
Deactivating and setting Pilot Assist in
standby mode
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary
depending on car model.
To temporarily switch off Pilot Assist and set it in
standby mode:
–
Press the steering wheel button
> Pilot Assist is set in standby mode - the
symbol (8) in the driver display changes
colour from WHITE to GREY and the
stored speed in the centre of the speed-
ometer changes from BEIGE to GREY.
...or...
Press ◀ (3).
–
> Pilot Assist is switched off and changes
to the adaptive cruise control in active
mode.
In standby mode, the driver is no longer given any
driver steering recommendations and must con-
trol both speed and distance him/herself.
When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and the car
drives too close to a vehicle ahead, the driver is
warned about the short distance by the Distance
Warning function instead (see reference to the
heading "Distance Warning" at the end of this
section).
Standby mode on driver intervention
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and set in
standby mode if:
•
the foot brake is used
•
the gear selector is moved to N position.
•
the direction indicators are used for longer
than 1 minute .
•
the driver maintains a speed higher than the
stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
•
(2).
the clutch pedal is depressed for
approx. 1 minute - applies to cars with man-
ual gearbox.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
DRIVER SUPPORT
When the direction indicators are used, Pilot
Assist steering assistance is temporarily disen-
gaged. When this is no longer the case, steering
assistance is automatically reactivated if the
lane's side markings can still be detected.
