Standby mode on driver intervention
When the direction indicators or the accelerator
pedal are being operated, Pilot Assist is tempo-
rarily disabled and set in standby mode. When
these conditions no longer apply, Pilot Assist is
reactivated automatically.
Automatic reactivation from standby mode must
take place within 1 minute - Pilot Assist must
thereafter be activated manually with the
steering wheel button.
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and set in
standby mode if:
•
the foot brake is used
•
the gear selector is moved to N position.
The driver does not then receive any control rec-
ommendation and must control both the speed
and distance. Alternatively, the driver can man-
(1).
ually reactivate Pilot Assist with the
wheel button.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such
as the Electronic Stability Control system. If any
of these systems ceases to function then the
Pilot Assist is disengaged 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 and
the surrounding traffic.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•
the camera cannot "see" the lane lines
•
there is no vehicle within a reasonable dis-
tance ahead
•
the driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel
•
the driver takes off the seatbelt
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the
ESC Sport Mode
tem is activated
•
the
Off Road
selected
•
the camera and radar unit is covered e.g. by
wet snow or heavy rain (radar waves
steering
blocked).
Reactivating Pilot Assist from the standby
mode
–
Press the steering wheel button
> The speed is then set to the most recently
stored speed.
