Pilot Assist uses approx. 40% of the vehicle's
braking capacity. If a situation requires more
braking force than Pilot Assist can provide, and if
the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning
light and audible warning signal will be activated
to alert the driver that immediate action is
required. 57

WARNING
Pilot Assist only issues a warning for vehicles
detected by its camera and radar unit – thus,
a warning may come after a delay or not at all.
Never wait for a warning. Apply the
brakes when necessary!

Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven on
flat roads. The function may not be able to main-
tain the correct time interval to the vehicle ahead
when driving down steep hills. The driver should
be extra attentive and prepared to apply the
brakes.
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 the
vehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
The
Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE The function uses the vehicle's combined
camera and radar unit, which has certain gen-
eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".

Radar sensor limitations
The radar sensor used by several of the driver
support functions has certain limitations, which
also affect the functions using the radar sensor.
Obstructed camera The area marked in the illustration must be kept free of
decals, objects, solar film, etc.
65 The radar sensor is located on the upper interior
section of the windshield along with the camera.
CAUTION Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar unit – this
could disrupt camera and radar-based func-
tions.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response. If this symbol and the message
"
Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual" is
displayed in the instrument panel, it
means that the camera and radar sensor are
unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedes-
trians and large animals in front of the vehicle
and that the vehicle's camera and radar-based
functions may be obstructed, reduced, completely
disabled or providing inaccurate responses. The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the mess\
age to be displayed, and suggested actions:
Cause
Action
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty \
or
covered by ice or snow. Clean the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor and remove dirt\
, ice
and snow.
Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals or the camer\
a's
range of visibility. No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar se\
nsor
from functioning.65
