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
.

Time interval controls
Press to reduce the time interval to the vehi- cle ahead
Press to increase the time interval to the vehicle ahead
Distance indicator
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval tovary considerably in certain situations. At lowspeeds, when the distance to the vehicle aheadis short, Pilot Assist increases the time intervalslightly.
• If Pilot Assist does not seem to react when itis put in active mode, this may be becausethe set time interval to the vehicle aheaddoes not allow an increase in speed.
• The higher the speed, the greater the dis-tance to the vehicle ahead for a given timeinterval.
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.

Changing target vehicles and automatic braking with Pilot Assist
At certain speeds, Pilot Assist can change target vehicles and automatically apply the brakes.
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta- tionary vehicle ahead
When Pilot Assist is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h) and
changes targets from a moving vehicle to a sta- tionary one, the system will brake for the station-ary vehicle.
WARNING
If Pilot Assist changes targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one at speeds above
20 mph (30 km/h), 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
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standby mode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below approx.3 mph (5 km/h) and Pilot Assist cannotdetermine if the target object is a stationaryvehicle or some other type of object such asa speed bump, etc
• the vehicle's speed goes below approx.3 mph (5 km/h) and the vehicle aheadchanges lanes or turns so that Pilot Assistno longer 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, Pilot Assist will go into standby mode andthe auto-hold brake function will activate.

300If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi- cle will be kept at a standstill until the drivertakes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoidcolliding with the vehicle ahead, your speed willbe reduced to that vehicle's speed. When auto-brake is triggered, the seat belt pre- tensioners may also be activated, see the article"Seat belts" for additional information. Auto-braking can be cancelled if the driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal. When City Safety applies the brakes, the brake lights will illuminate. When City Safety is triggered and applies the brakes, a text message will be displayed in theinstrument panel.

City Safety warning level settings
City Safety is always activated but the function's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
City Safety cannot be turned off and activates automatically each time the engine is started.
Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines the system'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 Top
view.
2. Tap
My CarIntelliSafeCity Safety
Warning.
3. Choose among
Earlier, Normal or Later.
Begin by choosing
Earlier. If too many warnings
are given, change to Normal.
If the driver feels that warnings are given too often, 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 exceptional
circumstances, e.g., for a more dynamic driving style.
WARNING
• No automatic system can be guaranteed to 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 been
selected, warnings may be perceived as being 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 as possible, always using the setting
Earlieris recommended.
NOTE
•
Due to local traffic regulations in certain markets, Rear Collision Warning (RCW) will
not activate the rear turn signals.
That part of the function will be deacti- vated.
• The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warning level is set at
Later. See also the section

Rear Collision Warning (RCW)The
Rear Collision Warning (RCW) function
can help the driver avoid rear-end collisions.
RCW is activated automatically each time the engine 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 rapidly approaching your vehicle from behind. At speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), if RCW determines 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 also applied 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 the accelerator pedal is pressed.
NOTE
• Due to local traffic regulations in certain markets, Rear Collision Warning (RCW) will
not activate the rear turn signals.
That part of the function will be deacti- vated.
• The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warning level is set at
Later. See also the section
"Setting a warning level (distance)" in the article "City Safety settings."
• If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensionersand Whiplash Protection System will beactivated.
LimitationsIn some circumstances, it may be difficult for RCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-sion, such as: •If the vehicle approaching from the rear is detected 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)

Blind Spot Information (BLIS) *
Blind Spot Information is a system designed to alert the driver to the presence of other vehiclesmoving in the same direction as your vehicle onroads with several lanes.
Blind Spot Information is a driving aid intended to:
• detect other vehicles in your door mirrors'"blind area"
• detect vehicles that are about to pass yourvehicle or are approaching your vehiclequickly from behind in the left and/or rightlanes
WARNING
•
Blind Spot Information is an information system, NOT a warning or safety systemand does not function in all situations.
• Blind Spot Information does not eliminatethe need for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the need foryou to turn your head and shoulders tomake sure that you can safely changelanes or back up.
• As the driver, you have full responsibilityfor changing lanes/backing up in a safemanner.
Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
BLIS button in the center display's Function view to activate/deactivate the function
The indicator light illuminates on the side of thevehicle where the system has detected anothervehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides atthe same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area, Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi- cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph(10 km/h). Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
• vehicles that are passing your vehicle
• other vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle inzone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,the indicator light in the respective door mirrorwill glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turn signal on the side on which the warning is given, the indicator lightwill begin flashing and become brighter.

If the driving pattern becomes noticeably erratic, the driver willbe alerted by an audible signal and
Driver Alert Time for a
break will appear in the instru-
ment panel along with a sym- bol.
The warning will be repeated if the driving patterndoes not change.
WARNING
• DAC is not intended to extend the dura- tion of driving. Always plan breaks at reg-ular intervals to help remain alert.
• A warning from DAC should not beignored. A driver may not be aware ofhow fatigued he/she has become.
• In certain cases, fatigue may not affectthe driver
