may be given with a certain delay. Never
wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when
the situation requires.

Change of target with driver
support
The driver supports of adaptive cruise con-
trol* and Pilot Assist*, in combination with

(20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a
moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle – the
driver supports will slow down for the station-
ary vehicle.
