WARNING
When ACC is in standby mode, the driver hasto control the vehicle's speed and distance toa vehicle ahead.
When ACC is in standby mode, the driver willbe alerted if the distance to the vehicle aheadis too short by the Distance Alert function.See the article "Distance Alert" for additionalinformation.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
ACC is temporarily deactivated and put instandby mode if:
•the brakes are applied
•The gear selector is moved to N
•the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute.
In these cases, the driver will have to regulate thevehicle's speed.
A temporary increase in speed, such as whenpassing another vehicle, does not affect the ACCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
ACC interacts with other systems, such asElectronic Stability Control. If any of these othersystems are not functioning properly, ACC willturn off automatically.
WARNING
If this happens, the driver will be alerted by anaudible signal and a message in the instru-ment panel. The driver will have to adapt thevehicle's speed, apply the brakes when nec-essary and keep a safe distance to the vehicleahead.
ACC switches automatically to standby mode if:
•the vehicle's speed goes below approx.3 mph (5 km/h) and ACC cannot determineif the vehicle ahead is stationary or is anobject such as a speed bump, etc
•the vehicle's speed goes below approx.3 mph (5 km/h) and the vehicle aheadchanges lanes or turns so that ACC nolonger has a target vehicle to follow
•the driver opens the door
•the driver unbuckles the seat belt
•the engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
•the wheels lose traction
•the brake temperature is too high
•the parking brake is applied
•the stability system's ESC Sport Mode isactivated
•the Off Road drive mode is selected
•The radar sensor is covered by e.g., wet snowor if heavy rain interferes with radar waves
Reactivating ACC from standby mode

Passing Assistance with AdaptiveCruise Control or Pilot Assist-2
ACC or Pilot Assist can assist the driver whenpassing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When ACC or Pilot Assist is following anothervehicle and the driver indicates that he/she isabout to pass that vehicle by using the left turnsignal, ACC or Pilot Assist will begin acceleratingtoward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle hasmoved into the passing lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approachesthe slower-moving vehicle.
The function is active until your vehicle haspassed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Be aware that this function may be activatedin situations other than when passing a vehi-cle, such as if the turn signal is used to indi-cate a lane change or to indicate a turn. Thevehicle will accelerate briefly.
Using passing assistance
To activate passing assistance:
•Your vehicle (ACC or Pilot Assist) must befollowing another vehicle (the target vehicle).
•Current speed must be at least approx.45 mph (70 km/h ).
•The speed set for ACC or Pilot Assist mustbe high enough to safely pass the vehicleahead.
Starting passing assistance
To start a passing assistance sequence:
•Activate the left turn signal.
Passing assistance limitations
WARNING
The driver should be prepared for suddenchanges when passing assistance is used. Incertain cases, there may be undesired accel-eration.
Certain situations should be avoided, such as:
•If the vehicle is approaching an exit to theleft or a left turn.
•If the vehicle ahead slows down beforeyour vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
•Traffic in the passing lane slows down.
Passing assistance in these situations can bedeactivated by putting ACC or Pilot Assist instandby mode.

Changing target vehicles andautomatic braking with AdaptiveCruise Control (ACC)
At certain speeds, Adaptive Cruise Control canchange target vehicles and automatically applythe brakes.
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta-tionary vehicle ahead
When ACC is actively following another vehicle atspeeds under 20 mph (30 km/h) and changestargets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one,the system will brake for the stationary vehicle.

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 thatPilot Assist has been selected.
In other cases, the WHITEarrow pointing to the right indi-cates that the system is availa-ble.
A YELLOW symbol with a flashing WHITE arrowindicates that the system is about to shift intostandby mode.
With ACC in standby mode:
1.Tap ▶ (6).
>The symbol will be displayed and PilotAssist will go into standby mode.
2.Press the button (2) on the left-sidesteering wheel keypad.
>Pilot Assist will go into active mode.
WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance sys-tem. The driver is always responsible forsteering or applying the brakes if the systemdoes not detect another vehicle.
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding drivingconditions such as city driving or other heavytraffic situations, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slush on theroad, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibil-ity, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
In certain situations, it may be difficult for PilotAssist to assist the driver correctly or to deac-tivate automatically. In such cases, it is advisa-ble not to use Pilot Assist. Examples of suchsituations may be:
•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.
•there are edges or other lines on or nearthe lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
•the lane is narrow or winding.
•the lane is at the top of a hill, on anuneven road surface or over a bump.
•bad weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that PilotAssist 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'shands 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 thesteering wheel after the audible signal, PilotAssist will go into standby mode and must be
reactivated by pressing .

In standby mode, the driver will have to regulatethe vehicle's speed and the distance to the vehi-cle ahead.
When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and yourvehicle comes too close to another vehicle, thedriver will be alerted by the Distance Alert func-tion.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and put instandby mode if:
•the brakes are applied
•The gear selector is moved to N
•the turn signals are used for more than1 minute
•the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute.
A temporary increase in speed, such as whenpassing another vehicle, does not affect the PilotAssist set speed. The vehicle will return to the setspeed when the accelerator pedal is released.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist'ssteering function will be temporarily deactivated.When this is no longer the case, the steeringfunction will reactivate if the traffic lane's sidemarker lines can still be detected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist interacts with other systems, such asElectronic Stability Control. If any of these other
systems are not functioning properly, Pilot Assistwill automatically be deactivated.
WARNING
If this happens, the driver will be alerted by anaudible signal and a message in the instru-ment panel. The driver will have to adapt thevehicle's speed, apply the brakes when nec-essary and keep a safe distance to the vehicleahead.
Pilot Assist switches automatically to standbymode if:
•the vehicle's speed is below approx. 3 mph(5 km/h) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifa vehicle ahead is a stationary vehicle or anobject.
•the vehicle's speed is below approx. 3 mph(5 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow(target vehicle).
•the driver's hands are not on the steeringwheel

City Safety warning level settings
City Safety is always activated but the function'swarning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
City Safety cannot be turned off and activatesautomatically each time the engine/electricmotor is started.
Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines thesystem's responsiveness and sets the distance atwhich visual, audible and tangible (haptic) warn-ings will be triggered.
To do so:
1.Tap Settings in the center display's Topview.
2.Tap My CarIntelliSafeCity Safety.
3.Choose among Earlier, Normal or Later.
Begin by choosing Earlier. If too many warningsare given, change to Normal.
If the driver feels that warnings are given toooften, the warning level can be lowered. Thismeans that warnings will be provided later, result-ing in fewer warnings being given.
The setting Later should only used in exceptionalcircumstances, e.g., for a more dynamic drivingstyle.
WARNING
•No automatic system can be guaranteedto function 100% correctly in all situa-tions. For that reason, never test CitySafety by driving toward a person orobject. This could result in serious injuryor death.
•Even if the setting Earlier has beenselected, warnings may be perceived asbeing given late, e.g., if the difference inspeed is great or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly.
•City Safety can provide a warning for apotential collision but it can never shortenthe driver's reaction time.
•To help make City Safety as effective aspossible, always using the setting Earlieris recommended.
NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certainmarkets, RCW will not activate the rearturn signals. That part of the function willbe deactivated.
•The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warninglevel is set at Later. See also the section"Setting a warning level (distance)" in thearticle "City Safety settings."
•If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensioners

Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
The Rear Collision Warning with braking atstandstill (RCW) function can help the driveravoid rear-end collisions.
RCW is activated automatically each time theengine is started.
RCW can warn the driver of a vehicle approach-ing yours from behind by rapidly flashing yourturn signals.
RCW is only activated when a vehicle is rapidlyapproaching your vehicle from behind.
At speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), if RCWdetermines that your vehicle is at risk of a rear-end collision, the front seat belt pretensionersand the Whiplash Protection System are acti-vated.
Just prior to the collision, the brakes are alsoapplied to help reduce your vehicle's forwardmovement if and when the collision occurs. How-ever, this can only happen if your vehicle is sta-tionary.
The brakes will be released immediately if theaccelerator pedal is pressed.
NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certainmarkets, RCW will not activate the rearturn signals. That part of the function willbe deactivated.
•The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warninglevel is set at Later. See also the section"Setting a warning level (distance)" in thearticle "City Safety settings."
•If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensionersand Whiplash Protection System will beactivated.
Limitations
In some circumstances, it may be difficult forRCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-sion, such as:
•If the vehicle approaching from the rear isdetected at a late stage
•If the vehicle approaching from the rearchanges lanes at a late stage
•If the vehicle approaching from the rear ismoving at a speed above approx. 50 mph(80 km/h)
