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 driver is responsible for ensuring thatthe vehicle maintains a suitable distancefrom such obstacles.
The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncomingobjects and obstacles in traffic environ-ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstaclesor objects that completely or partiallyblock the route.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
The recommended steering input is lim-ited in force, which means that it cannotalways help the driver to steer and keepthe vehicle within the lane.
In vehicles equipped with SensusNavigation*, the function is able to useinformation from map data, which couldcause variations in performance.
Pilot Assist will be switched off if thespeed-dependent power steering wheelresistance is working at reduced power,e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
The driver can always correct or adjust steeringassistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning thesteering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven onflat roads. The function may not be able to main-
tain the correct time interval to the vehicle aheadwhen driving down steep hills. The driver shouldbe extra attentive and prepared to apply thebrakes.
Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,bike carrier or similar is connected to thevehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
The Off Road drive mode cannot beselected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera andradar sensor, which has certain general limita-tions.

NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle stationaryfor no more than 5 minutes – after that timethe parking brake is applied and the functionis deactivated.
The parking brake must be released beforedriver support can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deactivatedwhen the vehicle is at a standstill and the func-tion will go into standby mode. This means thatthe brakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or Rpositions
the driver puts the function in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
This occurs if the function is keeping the vehiclestationary using the brakes and:
the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
the function has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the driver switches off the engine manually.

Passing assistance
Passing assistance can assist the driver whenpassing other vehicles. The function can beused with Pilot Assist or Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol* (ACC40).
How passing assistance works
When Pilot Assist or ACC is following anothervehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass
that vehicle by using the turn signal41, the systemwill begin accelerating toward the vehicle aheadbefore your vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle haspassed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

Limited field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. Insome situations, it may detect a vehicle later thanexpected or not at all.
The radar sensor's field of vision.
The radar sensor's detection of vehicles veryclose to your vehicle may be delayed in cer-tain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls in
between your vehicle and the vehicle directlyahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi-cles that are not driving in the center of thelane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar may detect the wrongvehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.
Low trailers
Low trailer in the radar shadow.
Low trailers may also be difficult or even impossi-ble for the radar to detect. The driver should beextra alert when driving behind vehicles towinglow trailers when Adaptive Cruise Control or PilotAssist is activated.
Camera
Reduced visibility
Cameras have the same limitations as the humaneye. In other words, their “vision" is impaired byadverse weather conditions such as heavy snow-fall/rain, dense fog, swirling dust/snow, etc.These conditions may reduce the function of sys-
tems that depend on the camera or cause thesesystems to temporarily stop functioning.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road surface,ice or snow covering the road, a dirty road sur-face, or unclear lane marker lines may drasticallyreduce the camera

Park Assist*
The Park Assist function can help the driverwhen maneuvering in tight spaces by indicatingdistances to obstacles using audible signals andgraphics in the center display.
Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-tors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehi-cle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The marked sector indicates where the obstacleis located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to amarked sector forward/rearward, the closer thedetected obstacle is to your vehicle.
The side sectors change color as the distancebetween the vehicle and an object decreases.
The audible signals will also speed up the closerthe obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of theaudio system will be automatically lowered.
Audible signals for obstacles in front and to thesides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle ismoving but will cease after the vehicle has beenstationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signalsfor obstacles behind the vehicle will remain activeeven when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm(1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, thetone will become constant and the active sen-sor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will befilled in.
At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from anobstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an rapid puls-ing signal will be given and the active sectorfields will change color from ORANGE to RED.
The volume of the Park Assist audible signalscan be adjusted while the signal is being givenusing the >II knob or in the center display's Topview under Settings.
NOTE
Besides in the sector closest to the vehi-cle symbol, audible warnings are only pro-vided for objects located directly in thevehicle's path.
WARNING
The parking sensors have dead/blindspots where objects cannot be detected.
Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
Bear in mind that the front end of thevehicle may swing out towards oncomingtraffic during the parking maneuver.
