In a speed range from 0 - 60 km/h, Stop&Go
Pilot focuses on the vehicle in front, taking into
account lane markings, e.g. when following vehi-
cles in a traffic jam.
At speeds of more than 60 km/h, the Steering
Pilot focuses on detected lane markings (left
and right), only focusing on the vehicle in front if
detected lane markings are not present at
speeds of up to 130 km/h.
If these conditions are not present, Steering
Pilot and Stop&Go Pilot cannot provide assis-
tance.
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC must be active in
order for the function to be available.
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Distance
Pilot DISTRONIC with Steering Pilot and
Stop&Go Pilot can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics. It can-
not take into account road, weather or traffic
conditions. Distance Pilot DISTRONIC with
Steering Pilot and Stop&Go Pilot is only an aid.
You are responsible for the distance to the vehi-
cle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good
time and for staying in lane.
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC with Steering Pilot
and Stop&Go Pilot does not detect road and
traffic conditions and does not detect all road
users. If you are following a vehicle which is
driving towards the edge of the carriageway,
your vehicle could come into contact with the
kerb or other road boundaries. Be particularly
aware of other road users, e.g. cyclists, that are
directly next to your vehicle.
Obstacles such as traffic pylons on the lane or
projecting into the lane are not detected.
An inappropriate steering intervention, e.g. after
intentionally driving over a lane marking, can be
corrected at any time if you steer slightly in the
opposite direction.
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC with Steering Pilot
and Stop&Go Pilot cannot continuously keep
your vehicle in the lane. In some cases, the
steering intervention is not sufficient to bring
the vehicle back to the lane. In such cases, you
must steer the vehicle yourself to ensure that it
does not leave the lane.
The support offered by the system may be
impaired if:
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
R
illumination of the road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or spray
there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the
R
sun or reflection from other vehicles (e.g. if
the road surface is wet)
the windscreen is dirty, misted up, damaged
R
or covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera
there are no lane markings, or several unclear
R
lane markings are present, e.g. around con-
struction sites
the lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
R
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
the distance to the vehicle in front is too short
R
and thus the lane markings cannot be detec-
ted
the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
R
branch off, cross one another or merge
the road is narrow and winding
R
there are highly variable shade conditions on
R
the road
The system is switched to passive and no longer
assists you by performing steering interventions
if:
you actively change lanes
R
you switch on the turn signal
R
you take your hands off the steering wheel or
R
do not steer for a prolonged period of time
i
After you have finished changing lanes,
Steering Pilot and Stop&Go Pilot are auto-
matically active again.
Steering Pilot and Stop&Go Pilot cannot provide
assistance:
on very sharp corners
R
a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre has
R
been detected and displayed
Pay attention also to the important safety notes
on Distance Pilot DISTRONIC (
The steering interventions are carried out with a
limited steering moment. The system requires
the driver to keep his hands on the steering
wheel and to steer himself.
If you do not steer yourself or if you take your
hands off the steering wheel for a prolonged
period of time, the system will first alert you with
a visual warning. A steering wheel symbol
appears in the multifunction display. If you have
