data, which may result in varied per-
formance.
Pilot Assist is switched off if the power
•
steering for speed related steering
force is working with reduced power –
e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
WARNING
Pilot Assist must only be used if there are
clear lane lines painted on each side of the
lane. All other use involves increased risk of
contact with surrounding obstacles that
cannot be detected by the function.
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys-
•
tem. The driver is always responsible
and must intervene if the system does
not detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for
•
humans or animals, and not for small
vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-
cles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demanding
•
situations, such as in city traffic, at
junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a
lot of water or slush on the road, in
heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads or on slip roads.
The driver always has the possibility of cor-
recting or adjusting a steering intervention
imposed by Pilot Assist and can turn the steer-
ing wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy load
Bear in mind that Pilot Assist is primarily
intended for use when driving on level road
surfaces. The function may have difficulty in
keeping the correct distance from the vehicle
ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes -
in which case, be extra attentive and ready to
brake.
DRIVER SUPPORT
Do not use Pilot Assist if the car has a heavy
load or a trailer is connected to the car.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bicycle rack or similar is connected to the
car's electrical system.
Drive mode unavailable
Off Road
drive mode cannot be selected
when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.
