changes the speed in +/- 5 mph (+/- 5 km/h) increments.
• Press
and hold: Release the button when
the set speed indicator (3) has moved tothe desired speed.
• The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera- tor pedal while pressing the
button on the
steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the but- ton is pressed will be stored as the set speed. 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.
Automatic transmission
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph). The lowest speed that can be set for Pilot Assist is 30 km/h (20 mph). When following anothervehicle, ACC can monitor that vehicle's speedand slow your own vehicle down to a standstill,but it is not possible to set speeds lower than30 km/h (20 mph). The highest possible speed that can be set is200 km/h (125 mph).

Setting a time interval for PilotAssist
Pilot Assist can be set to different time intervals.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The more bars, the longerthe time interval. One bar rep-resents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, PilotAssist follows a vehicle ahead at a presettime interval. When only a steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-tance.

Increase the time interval
Distance indicator
–Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or increase the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur-
rent time interval.
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval tovary considerably in certain situations. For exam-ple, at low speeds and short distances to thevehicle ahead, Pilot Assist increases the timeinterval slightly.
NOTE
• The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them for aset time interval.
• Only use the time intervals permitted bylocal traffic regulations.
• If Pilot Assist does not seem to respondwith a speed increase when activated, itmay be because the time interval to thevehicle ahead is shorter than the set timeinterval.
WARNING
•Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
• The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.
Setting how Pilot Assist should maintain distance
* to the vehicle ahead
The driver can choose different drive modes to determine how Pilot Assist should maintain atime interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE controls. Select one of the following:
•
Eco - Pilot Assist will focus on providing
optimal fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
•
Comfort - Pilot Assist will focus on following
the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.
•
Dynamic - Pilot Assist will focus on follow-
ing the set time interval to the vehicle ahead more exactly, which could mean faster accel-eration and heavier braking.
For more information, see "Drive modes". Additional information is provided in the sections "Managing Cruise Control speed" and "ECOdrive mode".

To temporarily deactivate Pilot Assist and put it in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(2).
> Pilot Assist goes into standby mode - the symbol (8) in the instrument panel changes color from WHITE to GRAY andthe set speed in the center of the speed-ometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY. ...or...
–Press the
◀ button on the steering wheel (3).
> Pilot Assist is turned off and Adaptive Cruise Control will go into active mode.
WARNING
• With Pilot Assist in standby mode, the driver must intervene and steer and regu-late both speed and distance to the vehi-cle ahead.
• If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicleahead when Pilot Assist is in standbymode, the driver is instead warned of theshort distance by the Distance Alert func-tion.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated and put 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 to the set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased. When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's steering 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 (ESC65
). If any of
these other systems stops working, Pilot Assist will automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel. • The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, 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 steering wheel.
• 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 vary depending on model.
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(1).
> Speed will be set to the most recently stored speed.

Passing assistance with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can assist the driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance worksWhen Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 66
, Pilot Assist will
begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed 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.

Starting passing assistance withPilot Assist
Requirements for passing assistanceIn order to activate passing assistance:
• your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
• your vehicle's
current speed must be
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
• the set speed
for Pilot Assist must be high
enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistanceTo start passing assistance:
–Turn on the left turn signal.
> Passing assistance will start.
Related information
• Pilot Assist (p. 303)
Passing assistance with Pilot Assistlimitations
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions suddenly change when using Parking Assis-tance, the function may implement an unde-sired acceleration in certain conditions. Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if: • the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would normallyoccur
• the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-cle has had time to switch to the passinglane
• traffic in the passing lane slows down
• a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven ina country with left-hand traffic (or viceversa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-rarily putting Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Switching target vehicles with PilotAssist
At certain speeds, models with automatic trans-
missions and Pilot Assist can switch target vehi-cles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be stationary traffic ahead.
When Pilot Assist is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and
switches targets from a moving vehicle to a sta-
tionary vehicle, Pilot Assist will brake for the sta-tionary vehicle.
WARNING
When Pilot Assist follows another vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and
changes target vehicle – from a moving vehi- cle to a stationary one – Pilot Assist will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead
accelerate to the stored speed.
• The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standby mode 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.

Automatic braking with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist has a special braking function in slow 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 steering
wheel keypad.
• Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Pilot Assist will resume following the vehi- cle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle stationary for no more than 5 minutes – after that timethe parking brake is applied and the functionis deactivated. The parking brake must be released before Pilot Assist can be reactivated.

Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated when 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 R
positions
• the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeIn certain situations, the parking brake will be applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This occurs if Pilot Assist is keeping the vehicle stationary 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 designed to 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 or cross 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 Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (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.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
316
The driver is responsible for ensuring that the 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.
• 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 loadsPilot 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 should be 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 be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Radar unit limitations".
