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.
