tively, they may be detected incorrectly as lane markings, with a subsequentrisk of contact between the vehicle andsuch obstacles. The driver is responsi-ble for ensuring that the vehicle main-tains a suitable distance from suchobstacles.
The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncom-ing objects and obstacles in trafficenvironments, e.g. potholes, stationaryobstacles or objects that completely orpartially block the route.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
The recommended steering input islimited in force, which means that itcannot always help the driver to steerand keep the vehicle within the lane.
In vehicles equipped with Sensus Navigation
*, the function is able to use
information from map data, which could cause variations in performance.
Pilot Assist will be switched off if thespeed-dependent power steeringwheel resistance is working at reducedpower, e.g. during cooling due to over-heating.WARNING
Pilot Assist should only be used if there are clear lane lines painted on each side of thelane. All other use will increase the risk ofcontact with nearby obstacles that cannotbe detected by the functions.
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsibleand must intervene if the system failsto detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for peopleor animals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-cles. Similarly, it does not brake for lowtrailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demandingsituations, such as in city traffic, atintersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road,in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.
The driver can always correct or adjust steer-ing assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turn-ing the steering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be drivenon flat roads. The function may not be able tomaintain the correct time interval to the vehi-cle ahead when driving down steep hills. Thedriver should be extra attentive and preparedto apply the brakes. Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carrying 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 limitationsThe Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Passing assistance Passing assistance can assist the driver when passing other vehicles. The function can be used with Adaptive Cruise Control * or Pilot
Assist *.
How passing assistance worksWhen Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and you indicatethat you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 50
, the system will begin accel-
erating toward the vehicle ahead before your
vehicle has moved into the passing lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicleapproaches a slower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti- vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a directionindicator is used to indicate a lane changeor before exiting to another road – the vehi-cle will then briefly accelerate.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

Using passing assistance Passing assistance can be used with Adap- tive Cruise Control * or Pilot Assist *. Several
conditions must be met for passing assis- tance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
your vehicle's
current speed must be
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
the set speed
must be high enough to
safely pass another vehicle.
To start passing assistance:
–Turn on the left turn signal.
> Passing assistance will start.
50 Only the left-hand turn signal for left-hand drive vehicles, or right-hand turn signal for right-hand drive vehicles.

Limited field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations, it may detect a vehicle laterthan expected or not at all.
The radar sensor's field of vision.
The radar sensor's detection of vehicles very close to your vehicle may be delayedin certain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls in between your vehicle and the vehicledirectly ahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles that are not driving in the centerof the lane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar may detect the wrong vehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.
Low trailers
Low trailer in the radar shadow.
Low trailers may also be difficult or even impossible for the radar to detect. The driver should be extra alert when driving behind vehi- cles towing low trailers when Adaptive Cruise Control
* or Pilot Assist * is activated.
Camera
Reduced visibility
Cameras have the same limitations as the human eye. In other words, their “vision" isimpaired by adverse weather conditions suchas heavy snowfall/rain, dense fog, swirlingdust/snow, etc. These conditions may reduce the function of systems that depend on thecamera or cause these systems to temporarilystop functioning. Strong sunlight, reflections from the road sur- face, ice or snow covering the road, a dirtyroad surface, or unclear lane marker lines maydrastically reduce the camera

Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
The BLIS function is automatically deacti-vated if a trailer, bicycle holder or similar isconnected to the vehicle's electrical sys-tem.
For BLIS to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp curves.
BLIS does not work when the vehicle is being reversed.

In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
CTA's blind zone.
CTA's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations
The
auto brake sub-function only detects
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta- cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsmay reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if atrailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
