RIt uses as arefere nce theve hicle in front or
th e lane markings, depending on the driven
speed.
RSt eering Pilot requiresyou as the driver, to
ke ep your hands onthesteering wheel at all
times so that you are abletointer vene at any
time tocor rect the course of theve hicle and
ke ep it in lane.
RSteering Pilot can be overridden at any time
by steering theve hicle yourself.
RIfth e sy stem de tects that there are no lane
markings, it uses theve hicle ahead as a ref‐
erence up toa speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).
RWhen the sy stem is actively steering, the
è symbol is shown in green in the multi‐
function displa y.
Sy stem limitations of Steering Pilot
St eering Pilot has a limited steering torque for
lateral guidance. In some cases, thesteering
inter vention is not suff icienttokeep theve hicle
in the lane.
If de tection of lane markings and vehicles ahead
is impaired, Steering Pilot switches topassive
mode. The sy stem pr ovides no support in this case. During
the transition from the active to
passive status, theè symbol is shown as
enlar ged and flashes yello w. Once the sy stem is
passive theè symbol is shown as gr ayinthe
multifunction displa y.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowin
g ins
tances:
RIfth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,
ra in, fog or spr ay.
RIfth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
dire ct sunlight or reflection from other vehi‐
cles (e.g. if thero ad is wet).
RIfth e windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
or co vered, for ins tance byast icke r,in the
vicinity of the camera.
RIf no, or se veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area.
RIf th e lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
RThe distance totheve hicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
de tected.
RIfth e lane markings change quickl y,e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one ano ther or
mer ge.
RThe road is nar rowand winding.
RIfth ere are highly variable shade conditions
on thero ad.
RIfth ere are obs tacles such as traffic guid‐
ance posts on the lane or projecting out into
th e lane.
The sy stem does not pr ovide assis tance in the
fo llowing conditions:
ROn very sharp bends.
RWhen towing a trailer.

RThe neighboring lane is free and separated
bya broken lane marking.
RThe driven speed is between 50 mph
(80 km/h) and 110mp h(1 80 km/h).
RThe turn signal indicator is switched on for
longer than two seconds.

Parking Pilot
Fu nction of Parking Pilot
Pa rking Pilot is an elect ronic pa rking assis tance
sy stem which uses ultrasound and is automati‐
cally activated during forw ard tra vel. The sy stem
is operational at speeds of up toappr oximately
22 mph (35 km/h). When all the conditions are
fulfilled, thec symbol appears in the multi‐
function display and the sy stem automatically
sear ches for and measu res parking spaces on
bo th sides of theve hicle parallel and perpendic‐
ular tothe direction of tra vel. If Parking Pilot is
activated, suitable parking spaces are displa yed
in the multimedia sy stem. The ësymbol
appears in the multifunction displa y.The ar rows
show on which side of thero ad free parking
spaces are located.
The parking space and, if necessar y,the parking
direction can be selected as desired. Parking
Pilot calculates a suitable vehicle path and
assists youin parking and exiting the parking
space. Ve
hicles with automatic transmission: Park‐
ing Pilot changes gear, accelerates, brakes and
st eers theve hicle.
