standby mode
Pilot Assist can be deactivated and put in standby mode. This may happen automati-cally or be due to driver intervention.
Standby mode means that the function is selected in the instrument panel but not acti-vated. In standby mode, Pilot Assist will notregulate the speed or distance to the vehicleahead or provide steering assistance.
Standby mode due to action by the
driver
Pilot Assist will be deactivated and put instandby mode if any of the following occurs:
The brakes are applied.
The gear selector is moved to
N.
A turn signal is used for more than1 minute.
The vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute.
Automatic standby modePilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC 43
). If
any of these other systems stops working, Pilot Assist will be automatically deactivated.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a mes-sage on the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary,and maintain a safe distance to othervehicles.
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 snow or heavy rain (the camera lens/radarwaves are blocked).
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determineif the 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 sothat Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle tofollow.

Temporarily deactivating steering assistance with Pilot Assist *44
Pilot Assist steering assistance can be tem- porarily deactivated and reactivated withoutprior warning.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's steering assistance will be temporarily deacti-vated. When the turn signal is switched off,steering assistance will be automatically reac-tivated if the traffic lane's side markings canstill be detected. If Pilot Assist cannot clearly interpret the lane's side marker lines or if the camera/radarsensor is unable for some other reason toclearly interpret the lane, Pilot Assist will tem-porarily deactivate steering assistance. How-ever, the speed and distance warnings willremain active. Steering assistance will resumewhen the side marker lines can once again beinterpreted. In these situations, the driver maybe alerted through slight vibrations in thesteering wheel that steering assistance is tem-porarily deactivated.

limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designed to simplify driving and assist thedriver in many situations. However, the driveris always responsible for maintaining a suita-ble distance to vehicles or objects around itand ensuring that the vehicle is correctly posi-tioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trouble helping the driver properly or maybe deactivated automatically – we adviseagainst using Pilot Assist in such cases.Examples of such situations include:
the lane markings are worn, missing or cross each other.
lane division is unclear, for example,when the lanes divide or merge or atexits or when there are multiple sets ofmarkings.
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 edgesor strong 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 visibil-ity with poor light conditions, back-lighting, wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations:
High curbs, roadside barriers, tempo- rary obstacles (traffic cones, safety bar-riers, etc.) are not detected. Alterna-

tively, they may be detected incorrectly as lane markings, with a subsequentrisk of contact between the vehicle andsuch obstacles. The driver is responsi-ble for ensuring that the vehicle main-tains a suitable distance from suchobstacles.
The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncom-ing objects and obstacles in trafficenvironments, e.g. potholes, stationaryobstacles or objects that completely orpartially block the route.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
The recommended steering input islimited in force, which means that itcannot always help the driver to steerand keep the vehicle within the lane.
In vehicles equipped with Sensus Navigation
*, the function is able to use
information from map data, which could cause variations in performance.
Pilot Assist will be switched off if thespeed-dependent power steeringwheel resistance is working at reducedpower, e.g. during cooling due to over-heating.WARNING
Pilot Assist should only be used if there are clear lane lines painted on each side of thelane. All other use will increase the risk ofcontact with nearby obstacles that cannotbe detected by the functions.
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsibleand must intervene if the system failsto detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for peopleor animals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-cles. Similarly, it does not brake for lowtrailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demandingsituations, such as in city traffic, atintersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road,in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.
The driver can always correct or adjust steer-ing assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turn-ing the steering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be drivenon flat roads. The function may not be able tomaintain the correct time interval to the vehi-cle ahead when driving down steep hills. Thedriver should be extra attentive and preparedto apply the brakes. Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carrying 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 limitationsThe Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Switching target vehicles with driver support
At certain speeds, vehicles with automatic transmissions and the driver support func- tions Adaptive Cruise Control * and Pilot
Assist * can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be stationary traffic ahead.
When driver support is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h
(20 mph) and switches targets from a movingvehicle to a stationary vehicle, driver supportwill brake for the stationary vehicle.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.311
WARNING
When driver support follows another vehi- cle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h
(20 mph) and changes target vehicle –from a moving vehicle to a stationary one –driver support will ignore the stationary
vehicle and instead accelerate to the storedspeed. The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching targets
Driver support disengages and goes into standby mode if:
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and driver support cannot deter-mine if the target vehicle is stationary or ifit is another object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns sothat driver support no longer has a vehicleto follow.

Adjusting set speed for driver support
It is possible to adjust set speeds for the Adaptive Cruise Control * and Pilot Assist *
functions.
: Increases the set speed.
: Reduces the set speed.
Set speed.
–Change a set speed by pressing the
(1) or (2) buttons briefly or by pressing
and holding them:
Brief
press: Each press changes the
speed in +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph) incre- ments.
Press
and hold: Release the button
when the set speed indicator (3) hasmoved to the desired speed.
NOTE
For vehicles without Adaptive Cruise Con- trol *, speed instead increases by +/- 1km/h
(+/- 1 mph) each time the button is pressed.
The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accel- erator pedal while pressing the
(1) button
on the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accel- erator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehi-cle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle willreturn to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.313
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possi-ble, Adaptive Cruise Control allows the timeinterval to vary noticeably in certain situations.At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi-cle ahead is short, Adaptive Cruise Controlincreases the time interval slightly.
NOTE

The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them fora set time interval.
Only use the time intervals permittedby local traffic regulations.
If driver support does not seem torespond with a speed increase whenactivated, it may be because the timeinterval to the vehicle ahead is shorterthan the set time interval.
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.

Auto-hold braking with driver support
The driver support functions Adaptive Cruise Control * and Pilot Assist * have a special brake
function in slow traffic and while stationary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stopped at a traffic light, driving will resumeautomatically if the vehicle is stopped for lessthan approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin movingagain, the driver support function will go intostandby mode and the auto-hold brake func-tion will activate.
–The function can be reactivated by:
Pressing the
button on the steer-
ing wheel keypad.
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> The function will resume following the vehicle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
WARNING
A noticeable increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.
