Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that help provide the driver withactive/passive support.
Some of these systems are standard while others are optional and they are designed to e.g., helpthe driver maintain a set speed or a set distanceto a vehicle ahead, or warn the driver of a poten-tial collision situation and in certain cases applythe brakes if necessary. Certain optional systemscan also assist in various parking situations.

NOTE
Before CC can be activated, the vehicle's speed must be at least 20 mph (30 km/h).This is also the lowest speed that can be set.
Activating CC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
–With the symbol displayed (CC is in
standby mode), press the
button (2) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts CC in active mode and will maintain the vehicle's current speed.

Changing Cruise Control speed
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or — (2) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: changes speed in
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) increments. Each press changes the vehicle's speedby +/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h).
• Press and hold
: Release the button
when the set speed indicator (4) hasmoved to the desired speed.
If speed is increased by pressing the accelerator pedal before the
button is pressed, the vehi-
cle's speed when the button is pressed will become the set speed assuming that the accel- erator pedal is still depressed when the button ispressed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakeslightly. To avoid a loss of speed when drivingdown hills, use the engine braking functioninstead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In thissituation, the driver can temporarily deactivate theCC braking function. To do so:
–Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfway down and release it.
> CC will automatically deactivate the auto- matic brake function and will then only use the engine braking function.

Activating ACC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
Before ACC can be put in active mode:
• The driver's seat belt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle ahead (a target vehi-cle) or your vehicle's current speed must beat least 10 mph (15 km/h).
–With the symbol displayed (ACC is in
standby mode), press the
button (1) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts ACC in active mode and sets the vehicle's current speed, which is indi- cated by digits in the center of the speed-ometer. The
time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead will only be shownwhen two vehicles are dis-played.
A speed interval will also be indicated:
• The higher speed is the one set in ACC
• The lower one is the speed of the vehicle ahead (the target vehicle).

time interval to the vehicle ahead does not allow an increase in speed.
• The higher the speed, the greater the dis-tance to the vehicle ahead for a given timeinterval.
• Only use time intervals permitted by localtraffic regulations.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driver lim-ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-tion occurs in traffic.

Pilot Assist
*
The Pilot Assist feature helps keep the vehicle in its current traffic lane, at a set speed and a settime interval to the vehicle ahead.
FunctionThe vehicle's camera monitors the traffic lane's side marker lines and a distance monitor helpsmaintain the set time interval to the vehicleahead. Pilot Assist helps provide more relaxed driving in heavy, slow-moving traffic at speeds up to30 mph (50 km/h) on highways and major roads.
Function overview
Windshield module containing the camera/ radar sensor
Monitoring distance
Monitoring side marker lines The driver sets the desired time interval to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors that vehicleand the traffic lane's side market lines using thecamera and radar sensor mounted in the upper,center section of the windshield. It helps maintainthe set time interval by automatically adjustingspeed and by providing steering assistance tohelp keep your vehicle in the lane. Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based on monitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead andthe traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver canalways override Pilot Assist and steer the vehicleto e.g., change lanes, etc. If the camera and radar sensor cannot detect the lane's side marker lines or a vehicle ahead, PilotAssist goes into standby mode. When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and your vehicle comes too close to the vehicle ahead, thedriver will be alerted by the Distance Alert func-tion.

Prerequisites
The prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:
• The vehicle ahead must be within a reasona- ble (detectable) distance
• The camera must be able to clearly detectthe traffic lane's side marker lines
• The vehicle's speed must be under approx.30 mph (50 km/h).
A WHITE symbol indicates that Pilot Assist has been selected. In other cases, the WHITE arrow pointing to the right indi-cates that the system is availa-ble.
A YELLOW symbol with a flashing WHITE arrow indicates that the system is about to shift intostandby mode. With ACC in standby mode:1.Tap ▶ (4).
> The symbol will be displayed and Pilot Assist will go into standby mode.
2. Press the
button (1) on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
> Pilot Assist will go into active mode.
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsiblefor applying the brakes if the system doesnot detect another vehicle.
• Do not use Pilot Assist in demandingdriving conditions such as city driving orother heavy traffic situations, in slipperyconditions, when there is a great deal ofwater or slush on the road, during heavyrain or snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
• Pilot Assist uses the vehicle's cameraand radar sensor, which have limitations.
Pilot Assist may deactivate or not function optimally if:

•the lane's side market lines are missing, badly faded or cross each other.
• the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,when a line divides or merges withanother, at exits or if there are many roadsigns/markers.
• if there are edges or other lines on ornear the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta- cles (cones, barriers etc) may not bedetected or could be detected incorrectlyas side marker lines, which may create arisk of collision. The driver must ensure asafe distance to these obstacles.
• The camera or radar sensor may not beable to detect objects if there are pot-holes or if there are stationary objectspartially or completely blocking the road.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
• Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limitedand may not always be able to help thedriver keep the vehicle in the lane.Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions when the driver's hands are on the steering wheel
, which is con-
tinuously monitored by the system. If this is notthe case, the driver will be alerted by a text mes-sage in the instrument panel. If the driver's handsare not returned to the steering wheel, an audiblesignal will sound. If the driver does not return his/her hands to the steering wheel after the audible signal, PilotAssist will go into standby mode and must be reactivated by pressing
.
