tively, they may be detected incorrectly
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven
on flat roads. The function may not be able to
maintain the correct time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead when driving down steep hills. The
driver should be extra attentive and prepared
to apply the brakes.
WARNING
as lane markings, with a subsequent
risk of contact between the vehicle and
such obstacles. The driver is responsi-
ble for ensuring that the vehicle main-
tains a suitable distance from such
obstacles.
Pilot Assist should only be used if there are
clear lane lines painted on each side of the
lane. All other use will increase the risk of
contact with nearby obstacles that cannot
be detected by the functions.
The camera and radar sensors do not
have the capacity to detect all oncom-
ing objects and obstacles in traffic
environments, e.g. potholes, stationary
obstacles or objects that completely or
partially block the route.
•
Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carrying
a heavy load or towing a trailer.
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem. The driver is always responsible
and must intervene if the system fails
to detect a vehicle ahead.
•
•
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bike carrier or similar is connected to the
vehicle electrical system.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
The function does not brake for people
or animals and does not brake for small
vehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-
cles. Similarly, it does not brake for low
trailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-
tionary vehicles and objects.
•
•
The recommended steering input is
limited in force, which means that it
cannot always help the driver to steer
and keep the vehicle within the lane.
Other limitations
The Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
when Pilot Assist is activated.
Do not use the function in demanding
situations, such as in city traffic, at
intersections, on slippery surfaces,
with a lot of water or slush on the road,
in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads, or on on/off ramps.
•
In vehicles equipped with Sensus
Navigation*, the function is able to use
information from map data, which
could cause variations in performance.
•
•
The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.
Pilot Assist will be switched off if the
speed-dependent power steering
wheel resistance is working at reduced
power, e.g. during cooling due to over-
heating.
Related information
The driver can always correct or adjust steer-
ing assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turn-
ing the steering wheel to the desired position.
