Emergency brake lights
The emergency brake lights are activated towarn following vehicles of hard braking.
This function causes an additional taillight oneach side of the vehicle to illuminate.
The emergency brake lights are activated in theevent of hard braking or if the ABS system isactivated and the vehicle is traveling at a highspeed.
After the driver decelerates to a low speed andthen releases the brake, the brake lights resumetheir normal brightness.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-port intended to facilitate driving and helpmake it safer – it cannot handle all situa-tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-tions.
The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion.
Driver support functions are not a substi-tute for the driver's attention and judg-ment. The driver is always responsible forensuring the vehicle is driven in a safemanner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles,and in accordance with current trafficrules and regulations.

Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applyingthe brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes bedesirable to roll a bit faster and let speed bereduced instead by engine braking alone. Thedriver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-trol braking function.

NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera andradar sensor, which has certain general limita-tions.

Adaptive Cruise Control*20
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC21) helps thedriver maintain a constant speed with a set timeinterval to the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control can help provide a morerelaxed driving experience on long trips on high-ways or long, straight roads with even trafficflows.
The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to thevehicle ahead.
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to thevehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor detectsa slower-moving vehicle ahead, your vehicle'sspeed will be automatically adapted according tothe set time interval to that vehicle. When thereare no longer slower-moving vehicles ahead, thevehicle will return to the set speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed byaccelerating and braking. It is normal for thebrakes to emit a slight sound when they arebeing used to adjust speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to regu-late speed smoothly. The driver must apply thebrakes in situations requiring immediate braking.For example, when there are great differences inspeed between vehicles or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the radar

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-port intended to facilitate driving and helpmake it safer – it cannot handle all situa-tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-tions.
The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion.
Driver support functions are not a substi-tute for the driver's attention and judg-ment. The driver is always responsible forensuring the vehicle is driven in a safemanner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles,and in accordance with current trafficrules and regulations.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating andbraking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a slightsound when they are being used to adjust speed.
Pilot Assist attempts to smoothly regulate speed.The driver must apply the brakes in situationsrequiring immediate braking. For example, whenthere are great differences in speed betweenvehicles or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
Due to limitations in the camera and radar sen-sor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle aheadin the same lane and maintain a time interval tothat vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensordoes not detect a vehicle ahead, it will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. This will alsohappen if the speed of the vehicle aheadexceeds the set speed for your vehicle.

WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance system.The driver is always responsible and mustintervene if the system fails to detect avehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for people oranimals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcycles.Similarly, it does not brake for low trailers,oncoming, slow-moving or stationary vehi-cles and objects.
Do not use the function in demanding sit-uations, such as in city traffic, at intersec-tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot ofwater or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads,or on on/off ramps.
CAUTION
Maintenance of driver support components
may only performed by a workshop31.

In curves and forks in the road
Pilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver.The driver should never wait for steering assis-tance from Pilot Assist, but instead should alwaysbe ready to increase his or her own steeringefforts, particularly in curves.
When the vehicle is approaching an off-rampor a fork in the road, the driver should steertoward the desired lane to indicate to PilotAssist the desired direction of travel.

Pilot Assist strives to keep the vehicle
in the center of the lane
When Pilot Assist provides steering assistance, itstrives to position the vehicle in the center of thelane between the lane markings. For the smooth-est driving experience possible, the driver shouldpermit the vehicle to find the optimal positioning.The driver should check that the vehicle is posi-tioned safely in the lane and can always adjustthe vehicle's position by applying more force tothe steering wheel.
If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicleappropriately in the lane, the driver should

The previous illustration34 shows that Pilot Assistis set to maintain a speed of 110 km/h (68 mph)and that there is no target vehicle ahead to fol-low.
Pilot Assist will provide steering assistancebecause it can detect the lane's side markinglines.

Collision risk warning from driversupport
The driver support systems Pilot Assist and
Adaptive Cruise Control*35 can help alert thedriver if the distance to the vehicle ahead sud-denly decreases to an unsafe distance.

Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
Driver support uses approx. 40% of the vehicle'sbraking capacity. If a situation requires morebraking force than driver support can provide, andif the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning
light and audible warning signal will be activatedto alert the driver that immediate action isrequired.
WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warn-ing for vehicles detected by its radar unit –thus, a warning may come after a delay or notat all. Never wait for a warning. Apply thebrakes when necessary.

Visual warnings on the windshield may be dif-ficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight,reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if thedriver is wearing sunglasses or is not lookingstraight ahead.

Switching target vehicles with driversupport
At certain speeds, vehicles with automatic trans-missions and the driver support functions Adap-
tive Cruise Control*36 and Pilot Assist canswitch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may bestationary traffic ahead.
When driver support is actively following anothervehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) andswitches targets from a moving vehicle to a sta-tionary vehicle, driver support will brake for thestationary vehicle.
WARNING
When driver support follows another vehicle atspeeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) andchanges target vehicle – from a moving vehi-cle to a stationary one – driver support willignore the stationary vehicle and insteadaccelerate to the stored speed.
The driver must then intervene and applythe brakes.

Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Driver support disengages and goes into standbymode if:
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and driver support cannot determineif the target vehicle is stationary or if it isanother object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatdriver support no longer has a vehicle to fol-low.
