Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, e.g.
57
stability control/anti-skid ESC
. If any of these
other systems stops working, Pilot Assist is
switched off automatically.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned via an acoustic signal and a message
on the driver display.
•
The driver must then regulate the car's
speed, apply the brakes as needed and
maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Automatic standby mode may occur if, for exam-
ple:
•
the driver opens the door.
•
brake temperature is high.
•
the driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel.
•
the parking brake is applied.
•
engine speed is too low/high.
•
the driver takes off the seatbelt.
•
one or more wheels lose traction.
•
the camera and radar unit is covered by e.g.
snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/radio
waves are blocked).
Electronic Stability Control
57
•
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.
Reactivating Pilot Assist from the
standby mode
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary
depending on car model.
DRIVER SUPPORT
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
–
Press the steering wheel button
> The speed is then set to the most recently
stored speed.
