Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, e.g.
stability control/anti-skid ESC. If any of these
other systems stops working, Pilot Assist is
switched off automatically.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will
sound and a message is shown in the driver dis-
play. The driver must then intervene and adapt
the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
Automatic deactivation may occur if:
•
the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and Pilot
Assist is uncertain whether the vehicle ahead
is a stationary vehicle or an object, such as a
speed bump.
•
the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the
vehicle ahead turns off so that Pilot Assist no
longer has a vehicle to follow.
•
speed is reduced to below 30 km/h
(20 mph) - only applies to cars with manual
gearbox.
•
the driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel
•
the driver opens the door
•
the driver takes off the seatbelt
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the parking brake is applied
312
•
the camera and radar unit is covered by e.g.
snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/radio
waves are blocked).
