this article regarding Pil\bt Assist, including its 
limitati\bns. Pil\bt Assist is n\bt intended t\b replace 
the driver’s attenti\bn and judgement. Pil\bt Assist 
must \bnly be used where there are clearly visible 
traffic lane side marker lines \bn b\bth sides \bf the 
current traffic lane. In \bther circumstances there 
is an increased risk \bf c\bllisi\bn with surr\bunding 
\bbstacles that are n\bt detected by the system. The 
driver is always resp\bnsible f\br steering the vehicle

disc\bmf\brt t\b the seat’s \bccupant. 
Cleaning the center display
The micr\bfiber cl\bth used sh\buld be free \bf sand, 
dirt \br anything abrasive that might scratch the 
screen. D\b n\bt use r\bugh cl\bths, paper t\bwels \br 
tissues that c\buld scratch the screen. When clean-
ing the center display, apply \bnly light pressure \bn 
the screen. Pressing t\b\b hard c\buld cause damage. 
D\b n\bt spray any liquid \br c\brr\bsive chemicals

 NOTES
Keyless locking/unlocking*
Electr\bmagnetic fields \br metal \bbstructi\bns can 
interfere with the keyless drive system. The rem\bte 
key sh\buld never be placed cl\bser than appr\bxi-
mately 4-6 in. (10-15 cm) t\b cell ph\bnes, metallic 
\bbjects \br e.g., st\bred in a metal briefcase.
Starting and switching off the engine
After a c\bld start, idle speed may be n\bticeably 
higher than n\brmal f\br a sh\brt peri\bd. This is d\bne 
t\b help bring c\bmp\bnents in the emissi\bn c\bntr\bl 
system t\b their n\brmal \bperating temperature as 
quickly as p\bssible, which enables them t\b c\bntr\bl 
emissi\bns and help reduce the vehicle’s impact \bn 
the envir\bnment.
The vehicle’s three displays
If F\brward C\bllisi\bn Warning\f is activated, inf\brma-
ti\bn in the head-up display will be replaced by the 
F\brward C\bllisi\bn Warning\f graphic. This graphic 
will appear even if the head-up display is turned \bff.   
The driver’s ability t\b see inf\brmati\bn in the 
HUD may be impeded by the use \bf p\blarizing 
sunglasses, n\bt sitting in the center \bf the driver’s 
seat, \bbjects \bn the HUD pr\bject\br glass \bn the 
dashb\bard, certain ambient lighting c\bnditi\bns, 
certain types \bf visi\bn pr\bblems, which may als\b 
result in headaches \br eye strain.
Climate system settings
Heating \br c\b\bling cann\bt be speeded up by se-
lecting a higher/l\bwer temperature than the actual 
temperature required.
Power trunk release*
If the trunk has been \bpened and cl\bsed c\bntin-
u\busly f\br t\b\b l\bng, the aut\bmatic functi\bn will 
be deactivated t\b av\bid \bverl\bading the electrical 
system. The aut\bmatic functi\bn can be used again 
after appr\bximately 2 minutes.
Park Assist Camera*
Keep the camera’s lens free \bf dirt, ice and sn\bw. 
This is particularly imp\brtant in p\b\br ambient 
lighting c\bnditi\bns.
Trip computer
The accuracy \bf the “distance t\b empty” figure may 
vary if y\bur driving style changes. An ec\bn\bmical 
driving style will generally increase this distance. Pairing and connecting a Bluetooth cell phone
If y\bur cell ph\bne’s \bperating system is updated, 
this may break the c\bnnecti\bn between the ph\bne 
and the vehicle. If this happens, delete the ph\bne 
fr\bm the list \bf paired ph\bnes and repeat the 
pairing pr\bcedure.
Apple Carplay*
Please be aware that V\blv\b has n\b c\bntr\bl \bver the 
c\bntent \bf the Apple CarPlay app. 
If a cell ph\bne \br a media player is c\bnnected via 
Bluet\b\bth, it will n\bt be accessible while Apple Car-
Play is active because Bluet\b\bth will be disabled. 
T\b c\bnnect the vehicle t\b the Internet, use Wi-Fi \br 
the vehicle’s integrated m\bdem.
Managing and updating apps, system software 
and maps
D\bwnl\bading data may affect \bther system features 
that share the Internet c\bnnecti\bn. A d\bwnl\bad 
can be canceled at any time \br the \bther features 
can be temp\brarily turned \bff while the s\bftware 
d\bwnl\bad is underway.
