3.Pressing the button on the steeringwheel keypad.
> Cruise Control will start and the vehicle'scurrent speed will be set.
WARNING
Switching from ACC to CC means that thevehicle:
will no longer maintain a preset timeinterval to the vehicle ahead.
will only follow the stored speed and thedriver must therefore apply the brakeswhen necessary.
If CC is active when the engine is turned off, ACCwill be automatically activated the next time theengine is started.
Switching from CC to ACC
To do so:

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 shouldturn off Pilot Assist or switch to AdaptiveCruise Control.

With Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode:
1.Press the ▶ button on the steering wheel (6).
>The symbol will change to PilotAssist in standby mode (8).
2.Press the button on the steering wheel(2).
> Pilot Assist will start and the currentspeed will be stored, which will be shownby numbers in the center of the speedom-eter.
...or...
With Adaptive Cruise Control started:
–Press the ▶ button on the steering wheel (6).
> Pilot Assist will start.
Pilot Assist's steering assis-tance is only active when thesteering wheel symbol (2)changes from GRAY toGREEN.
Pilot Assist will only regulatethe time interval to the vehicle ahead when thedistance symbol shows a vehicle (1) over thesteering wheel symbol.
A speed interval will be markedat the same time.
The higher speed is the setspeed for your vehicle and thelower speed is the speed of thevehicle ahead (target vehicle).
Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions if the driver's handsare on the steering wheel.
If Pilot Assist detects that thedriver's hands are not on thesteering wheel, a symbol andtext message will appear toinstruct the driver to activelysteer the vehicle.
If the driver's hands are still detected on thesteering wheel after a few seconds have passed,the instructions to actively steer the vehicle willbe repeated, accompanied by an audible signal.
If Pilot Assist still does not detect the driver'shands on the steering wheel after a few moreseconds have passed, the audible signal willbecome intense and the steering function willswitch off. Pilot Assist must then be reactivated
by pressing the button on the steeringwheel.
NOTE
Note that the Pilot Assist function only workswhen the driver's hands are on the steeringwheel.

Select one of the following:
Eco - Pilot Assist will focus on providingoptimal fuel economy, which will increase thetime interval to the vehicle ahead.
Comfort - Pilot Assist will focus on followingthe set time interval to the vehicle ahead assmoothly as possible.
Dynamic - Pilot Assist will focus on follow-ing the set time interval to the vehicle aheadmore exactly, which could mean faster accel-eration and heavier braking.

Deactivating/reactivating PilotAssist
Pilot Assist can be temporarily put into standbymode and then reactivated.
Deactivating and putting Pilot Assist in
standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may varydepending on model.
To temporarily deactivate Pilot Assist and put it instandby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel(2).
> Pilot Assist goes into standby mode - thesymbol (8) in the instrument panelchanges color from WHITE to GRAY andthe set speed in the center of the speed-ometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY.
...or...
–Press the ◀ button on the steering wheel (3).
> Pilot Assist is turned off and AdaptiveCruise Control will go into active mode.
WARNING
With Pilot Assist in standby mode, thedriver must intervene and steer and regu-late both speed and distance to the vehi-cle ahead.
If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicleahead when Pilot Assist is in standbymode, the driver is instead warned of theshort distance by the Distance Alert func-tion.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated andput in standby mode if:
the brakes are applied.
the gear selector is moved to N
a turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist'ssteering assistance will be temporarily deacti-vated. When the turn signal is switched off, steer-ing assistance will be automatically reactivated ifthe traffic lane's side markings can still bedetected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such
as Electronic Stability Control (ESC56). If any ofthese other systems stops working, Pilot Assistwill automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver iswarned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehiclespeed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if, e.g.:
the driver opens the door.
the brake temperature is high.
the driver's hands are not on the steeringwheel.
the parking brake is applied.
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked)
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifthe vehicle ahead 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 thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Reactivating Pilot Assist from standby
mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may varydepending on model.
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
–Press the button on the steering wheel(1).
> Speed will be set to the most recentlystored speed.
