Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated andput in standby mode if:
the brakes are applied.
the gear selector is moved to N
a turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist'ssteering assistance will be temporarily deacti-vated. When the turn signal is switched off, steer-ing assistance will be automatically reactivated ifthe traffic lane's side markings can still bedetected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such
as Electronic Stability Control (ESC56). If any ofthese other systems stops working, Pilot Assistwill automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver iswarned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehiclespeed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if, e.g.:
the driver opens the door.
the brake temperature is high.
the driver's hands are not on the steeringwheel.
the parking brake is applied.
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked)
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifthe vehicle ahead is stationary or if it isanother object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Reactivating Pilot Assist from standby
mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may varydepending on model.
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
–Press the button on the steering wheel(1).
> Speed will be set to the most recentlystored speed.

Passing assistance with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can assist the driver when passingother vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When Pilot Assist is following another vehicleand you indicate that you intend to pass that
vehicle by using the turn signal57, Pilot Assist willbegin accelerating toward the vehicle aheadbefore your vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle haspassed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

WARNING
When Pilot Assist follows another vehicle atspeeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) andchanges target vehicle – from a moving vehi-cle to a stationary one – Pilot Assist willignore the stationary vehicle and insteadaccelerate to the stored speed.
The driver must then intervene and applythe brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standbymode if:
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifthe target object is a stationary vehicle oranother object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.

Auto-hold braking with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist has a special braking function inslow traffic and at a standstill.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a
standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is stopped for less thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 sec-onds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again,Pilot Assist will go into standby mode and theAuto-hold brake function will activate.
–Pilot Assist can be reactivated by:
Pressing the button on the steeringwheel keypad.
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Pilot Assist will resume following the vehi-cle ahead if it begins to move withinapprox. 6 seconds.
NOTE
Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle stationaryfor no more than 5 minutes – after that timethe parking brake is applied and the functionis deactivated.
The parking brake must be released beforePilot Assist can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivatedwhen the vehicle is at a standstill and Pilot Assistwill go into standby mode. This means that thebrakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or Rpositions
the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
This occurs if Pilot Assist is keeping the vehiclestationary using the brakes and:
the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
Pilot Assist has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the driver switches off the engine manually.

Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in cer-tain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designedto simplify driving and assist the driver in manysituations. However, the driver is always responsi-ble for maintaining a suitable distance to vehiclesor objects around it and ensuring that the vehicleis correctly positioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trou-ble helping the driver properly or may bedeactivated automatically – we advise againstusing Pilot Assist in such cases. Examples ofsuch situations include:
the lane markings are worn, missing orcross each other.
lane division is unclear, for example, whenthe lanes divide or merge or at exits orwhen there are multiple sets of markings.
edges or other lines than lane markingsare present on or near the road, e.g.curbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-face, edges of barriers, roadside edges orstrong shadows.
the lane is narrow or winding.
the lane contains ridges or holes.
weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,snow or fog or slush or reduced visibilitywith poor light conditions, backlighting,wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assisthas the following limitations:
High curbs, roadside barriers, temporaryobstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers,etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, theymay be detected incorrectly as lane mark-ings, with a subsequent risk of contactbetween the vehicle and such obstacles.
The driver is responsible for ensuring thatthe vehicle maintains a suitable distancefrom such obstacles.
The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncomingobjects and obstacles in traffic environ-ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstaclesor objects that completely or partiallyblock the route.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
The recommended steering input is lim-ited in force, which means that it cannotalways help the driver to steer and keepthe vehicle within the lane.
In vehicles equipped with SensusNavigation*, the function is able to useinformation from map data, which couldcause variations in performance.
Pilot Assist is switched off if the powersteering is working with reduced power -e.g. during cooling due to overheating(see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
The driver can always correct or adjust steeringassistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning thesteering wheel to the desired position.

Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven onflat roads. The function may not be able to main-tain the correct time interval to the vehicle aheadwhen driving down steep hills. The driver shouldbe extra attentive and prepared to apply thebrakes.
Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,bike carrier or similar is connected to thevehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
The Off Road drive mode cannot beselected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combinedcamera and radar unit, which has certain gen-eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".

Several examples58 are provided below.
The previous illustration59 shows that Pilot Assistis set to maintain a speed of 110 km/h (68 mph)and that there is no target vehicle ahead to fol-low.
Pilot Assist will not provide any steering assis-tance because it cannot detect the lane's sidemarking lines.
The previous illustration59 shows that Pilot Assistis set to maintain a speed of 110 km/h (68 mph)and is following a target vehicle ahead that istraveling at the same speed.

City Safety™
City Safety can alert the driver with light, soundand pulsations in the brake pedal to help thedriver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animalsand vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehiclewill then attempt to automatically brake if thedriver does not act within a reasonable amountof time.
Location of the camera and radar sensor65.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lowerthe vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driverif a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,cyclist or vehicle is imminent.
City Safety can help the driver avoid a collisionwhen e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when
changes in the traffic ahead and driver distractioncould lead to an incident.
The function assists the driver by automaticallyapplying the brakes if there is an imminent risk ofa collision and the driver does not react in time bybraking and/or steering away.
City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in anattempt to stop your vehicle immediately behindthe vehicle or object ahead.
City Safety is activated in situations in which thedriver should have applied the brakes much ear-lier, which means that the system will not be ableto assist the driver in all situations.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late aspossible to help avoid unnecessary intervention.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not beaware of City Safety except when the systemintervenes when a collision is imminent.
