Automatic standby mode
ACC interacts with other systems, such as Electronic 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 an audible 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 is
activated
• the
Off Road drive mode is selected
• The radar sensor is covered by e.g., wet snow or if heavy rain interferes with radar waves
Reactivating ACC from standby mode
Generic illustration
To reactivate ACC after it has temporarily been put in standby mode:
–Press the button (1).

WARNING
At speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h), if ACC
changes targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one, the system will not react to the
stationary vehicle and will accelerate to the previously set speed. The driver must actively apply the brakes to slow/stop the vehicle.
Automatic standby mode when changing targets
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below approx. 3 mph (5 km/h) and ACC cannot determineif the target object is a stationary vehicle orsome other type of object such as a speedbump, 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.
Auto-hold brake functionIn slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is not stopped for more thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin movingagain, ACC will go into standby mode and theauto-hold brake function will activate.
–The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in one of the following ways:
• Press the
button on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
• Press the accelerator pedal.
> ACC will resume following the vehicle ahead (target vehicle) if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle at a standstill for up to 5 minutes, after which the parking brakewill be set and ACC will go into standbymode. The parking brake has to be released before ACC 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 ACC will gointo standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle can begin to roll. The driver must actively apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This can occur in the following situations: • the driver presses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is set •
the gear selector is moved to the
P, N or R
positions
• the driver puts ACC in standby mode.
Automatically setting the parking brakeIn certain situations, the parking brake is set automatically to help keep the vehicle at a stand-still. This occurs if ACC keeps the vehicle at a stand- still with the brakes and:
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt or opensthe door
• ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill formore than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the engine is turned off.

Pilot Assist*
The Pilot Assist feature helps keep the vehicle in its current traffic lane by providing steeringassistance and maintaining an even speed and aset time interval to the vehicle ahead.
FunctionPilot Assist helps provide more relaxed driving on long trips on highways or other major roads in aneven flow of traffic.
Function overview (generic illustration)
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 the camera 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, Pilot Assist will tempo-rarily switch off the steering assistance until thelane's side marker lines become visible again andcan be detected. However, the function's speedand distance monitoring will continue to be acti-vated.
WARNING
Pilot Assist's steering assistance may switch on or off without warning.
The color of the steering wheel symbol indicates the currentstatus of the steering assis-tance function: GREEN: steering assistance is active
GRAY (as in the illustration): steering assistanceis deactivated
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is designed to be a supple- mentary driving aid and cannot cover alldriving situations, traffic, weather and/orroad conditions.
• The driver should be familiar with all ofthe information in this article regardingPilot Assist, including its limitations.
• Pilot Assist is not intended to replace thedriver's attention and judgement.
• Pilot Assist must only be used wherethere are clearly visible traffic lane sidemarker lines on both sides of the currenttraffic lane. In other circumstances thereis an increased risk of collision with sur-rounding obstacles that are not detectedby the system.
• The driver is always responsible for steer-ing the vehicle and maintaining a suitablespeed and distance to the vehicle aheadand must intervene if necessary, even ifPilot Assist is being used.
Pilot Assist attempts to regulate speed smoothlybut in situations calling for fast braking, the drivermust apply the brakes. This applies to situationswhere there are considerable differences inspeed or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.Due to the limitations of the camera and radar

Prerequisites
The prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:• 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) within a reasonable distance or yourvehicle's current speed must be at least9 mph (15 km/h).
With ACC in standby mode: 1. Tap
▶ (6).
> The symbol
will change to Pilot
Assist in standby mode (8).
2. Press the
button (2) on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
> Pilot Assist will go into active mode and the current speed will be stored and dis- played in the center of the speedometer. or
If Adaptive Cruise Control has been started:
–Tap ▶ (6).
> Pilot Assist will start.
Pilot Assist's steering assis- tance is only active when thesteering wheel symbol (2)changes from GRAY toGREEN.
And Pilot Assist will only regulate the time inter- val to the vehicle ahead when a vehicle symbol(1) is displayed above the steering wheel. At the same time, a speedinterval will be marked. The higher speed is the one stored by the driver and thelower one is the speed of thevehicle ahead (target vehicle).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 driving conditions 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 Pilot Assist 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 an uneven road surface or over a bump.
• bad 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 thesteering wheel after the audible signal, PilotAssist will go into standby mode and must be reactivated by pressing
.

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 thespeed set for Pilot Assist. The vehicle will returnto the set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased. Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle from a standstill up to a speed of approx. 125 mph(200 km/h). Always observe posted speed limits. The lowest speed that can be set/stored for Pilot Assist is 20 mph (30 km/h). However, PilotAssist can monitor and react to the speed of thevehicle ahead down to a standstill. The highest speed that can be set/stored is approx. 125 mph (200 km/h). Always observeposted speed limits.

Setting a Pilot Assist time interval
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selected and are shown in the instrumentpanel as 1–5 horizontal bars.
Changing the time intervalThe greater the number of bars, the longer the time interval.One bar between the vehiclesrepresents a time interval ofapproximately 1 second; 5 barsis approximately 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the graphic in the instrument panel shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, PilotAssist is following a vehicle ahead using theset time interval. If only a steering wheel is displayed, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-tance.
