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 carryinga 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.
Drive mode unavailableThe 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.

Adjusting set speed for driver support
It is possible to adjust set speeds for the cruise control, Adaptive Cruise Control * and
Pilot Assist * functions.
: Increases the set speed
: Reduces the set speed
Set speed
–Change a set speed by pressing the
(1) or (2) buttons briefly or by pressing
and holding them:
Brief
press: Each press changes the
speed in +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph) incre- ments.
Press
and hold: Release the button
when the set speed indicator (3) hasmoved to the desired speed.
> The most recently set speed will be stored.
NOTE
For vehicles without Adaptive Cruise Con- trol *, speed instead increases by +/- 1km/h
(+/- 1 mph) each time the button is pressed.
Pressing the accelerator pedalIf speed is increased by depressing the accel- erator pedal while pressing the
(1) button
on the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored asthe set speed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accel- erator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehi-cle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle willreturn to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
Possible speed
Automatic transmission
The driver support functions can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill upto 200 km/h (125 mph). Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance from near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h(87 mph). The lowest speed that can be set is 30 km/h (20 mph). When following another vehicle,ACC can monitor that vehicle's speed andslow your own vehicle down to a standstill,but it is not possible to set speeds lower than30 km/h (20 mph).

Setting time interval to the vehicle ahead The time interval to the vehicle ahead can be set for the functions Adaptive Cruise Control *,
Pilot Assist * and Distance Alert *.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The more bars, thelonger the time interval. Onebar represents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, PilotAssist follows a vehicle ahead at a presettime interval. When only a steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasona-ble distance.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows two vehicles, Adaptive Cruise Con-trol is following the vehicle ahead at a pre-set time interval. When only one vehicle is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-tance.
Controls for setting a time interval.
Reduce the time interval
Increase the time interval
Distance indicator
–Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or increase the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the current time interval. In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possi-ble, Adaptive Cruise Control allows the timeinterval to vary noticeably in certain situations.At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi-cle ahead is short, Adaptive Cruise Controlincreases the time interval slightly.
NOTE

The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them fora set time interval.
Only use the time intervals permittedby local traffic regulations.
If driver support does not seem torespond with a speed increase whenactivated, it may be because the timeinterval to the vehicle ahead is shorterthan the set time interval.
WARNING
Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.

Drive modes when using time interval to vehicle
The driver can choose different drive modes to determine how driver support shouldmaintain a time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE
controls. Select one of the following:

Eco - Driver support will focus on provid-
ing good fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicleahead.

Comfort - Driver support will focus on fol-
lowing the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.

Dynamic* - Driver support will focus on
following the set time interval to the vehi- cle ahead more exactly, which could meanfaster acceleration and heavier braking.

Auto-hold braking with driver support
The driver support functions Adaptive Cruise Control * and Pilot Assist * have a special brake
function in slow traffic and while stationary. In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stopped at a traffic light, driving will resumeautomatically if the vehicle is stopped for lessthan approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin movingagain, the driver support function will go intostandby mode and the auto-hold brake func-tion will activate.
–The function can be reactivated by:
Pressing the
button on the steer-
ing wheel keypad.
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> The function will resume following the vehicle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.

WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warning for obstacles detected by its radarsensor – thus, a warning may come after adelay or not at all.
Never wait for a warning or assistance. Apply the brakes when necessary.
NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle sta- tionary for no more than 5 minutes – afterthat time the parking brake is applied andthe function is deactivated. The parking brake must be released before driver support can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deacti- vated when the vehicle is at a standstill andthe function will go into standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle could begin to roll. The driver mustactively apply the brakes to keep the vehiclestationary. 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
R position.
The driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist in standby mode.
