situations, such as in city traffic, at
junctions, 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 slip roads.
This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.

Pilot Assist
*
75
Pilot Assist can help the driver to drive the
car between the lane's side markings as well
as to maintain an even speed, combined with
a preselected time interval to the vehicle
ahead.
Get to know Pilot Assist
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to
the vehicle ahead and detects side markings.
Camera and radar unit
Distance readers
Readers, side markings
Pilot Assist helps to control your car and you
may need to drive a few kilometres with Pilot
Assist before you feel completely at home
with the function. It is important to know
about all of the function's applications and lim-
itations in order to safely use all of the advan-
tages.
The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended
for use on motorways and similar major roads
where it can contribute to more comfortable
driving and a more relaxed driving experience.
The driver selects the desired speed and a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist
scans the distance to the vehicle ahead and
the lane's side markings on the road surface
using the camera unit. The preset time interval
is maintained with automatic speed adjust-
ment whilst the steering assistance helps to
position the car in the lane.
Pilot Assist regulates the speed with accelera-
tion and braking. It is normal for the brakes to
emit a low sound when they are being used to
adjust the speed.
Pilot Assist strives to:
•
regulate the speed smoothly. In situations
that demand sudden braking the driver
must brake himself/herself. This applies in
cases of large speed differences or if the
car in front brakes suddenly. Due to the
limitations of the camera and radar unit,
braking may come unexpectedly or not at
all.
•
follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane
at a time interval set by the driver. If the
radar unit cannot see any vehicle in front
then the car will instead maintain the
speed set and stored by the driver. This
also takes place if the speed of the vehicle
ahead increases and exceeds the stored
speed.
Position of the car in the lane
When Pilot Assist helps to steer, it attempts to
place the car halfway between the visible lane
markings. For a smoother drive, it is a good
idea to allow the car to find a good position.
The driver can always adjust the position him/
herself by increasing the steering input. It is
important that the driver checks to make sure
the car is positioned safely in the lane.
If Pilot Assist does not position the car in an
appropriate way in the lane, it is recom-
mended to turn Pilot Assist off or switch to
adaptive cruise control

Steering assistance
The current status of steering
assistance is indicated by the
colour of the steering wheel's
symbol:
• GREEN steering wheel indi-
cates active steering assis-
tance
• GREY steering wheel (as in illustration) indi-
cates deactivated steering assistance.
Pilot Assist steering assistance takes into
account the speed of the preceding car and
the lane markings. The driver can at any time
ignore the Pilot Assist steering recommenda-
tion and steer in another direction, e.g. to
change lane or avoid an obstruction on the
road.
If Pilot Assist cannot interpret the lane unam-
biguously, e.g. if the camera and radar unit
does not see the lane's side markings, Pilot
Assist temporarily deactivates steering assis-
tance, but resumes it if the lane can be inter-
preted again - although the speed and dis-
tance control functions remain active. The
steering wheel vibrates slightly when deacti-
vated temporarily in order to alert the driver to
the change.
WARNING
Pilot Assist steering assistance is automati-
cally deactivated and is resumed without
prior warning.
Round bends and when the road splits
Pilot Assist interacts with the driver, who
should therefore not wait for the steering
assistance from Pilot Assist but should always
be prepared to increase his/her own steering
input, especially in bends.
When the car approaches an exit or if the lane
splits, the driver should steer towards the
desired lane so that Pilot Assist can detect the
desired direction.
Hands on the steering wheel
In order for Pilot Assist to function, the driver’s
hands must be on the steering wheel. It is also
important for the driver always to carry on
being active and alert when driving as Pilot
Assist is unable to read all situations and the
function may toggle between off and on with-
out prior warning.
If Pilot Assist detects that the
driver does not keep his/her
hands on the steering wheel,
the system gives a warning
with a symbol and text mes-
sage in the driver display in
order to prompt the driver to
actively steer the car.
If the driver's hands still cannot be detected
on the steering wheel after a few seconds, the
prompt to actively steer the car is repeated,
supplemented by an acoustic signal.
If Pilot Assist cannot detect the driver's hands
on the steering wheel after a further few sec-
onds, the warning signal becomes intensive
and the steering function is deactivated. Pilot
Assist must then be restarted using the steer-
ing wheel button
.

Limitations of Pilot Assist
*
84
The Pilot Assist function may have limitations
in certain situations.
The Pilot Assist function is an aid which can
help the driver in many situations. But the
driver is at all times responsible for maintain-
ing a safe distance to surrounding objects and
a correct position in the lane.
WARNING
In certain situations, Pilot Assist steering
assistance may have difficulty helping the
driver in the right way or it may be auto-
matically deactivated - in which case, the
use of Pilot Assist is not recommended.
Examples of such situations may be that:
•
the lane markings are unclear, worn,
missing, or they cross each other, or if
there are several sets of lane markings.
•
the lane division is changed, e.g. when
the lanes split or merge, as well as on
slip roads.
•
at roadworks and sudden changes in
the roadway, e.g. when the lines may
stop marking the correct route.
•
edges or other lines than lane markings
are present on or near the road, e.g.
kerbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-
face, edges of barriers, roadside edges
or strong shadows.
•
the lane is narrow or winding.
•
the lane contains ridges or holes.
•
weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,
snow or fog or slush or impaired view
with poor light conditions, back-light-
ing, wet road surface etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist
has the following limitations:
•
High kerbs, roadside barriers, tempo-
rary obstacles (traffic cones, safety bar-
riers, etc.) are not detected. Alterna-
tively, they may be detected incorrectly
as lane markings, with a subsequent
risk of contact between the car and
such obstacles. The driver must ensure
him/herself that the car is at a suitable
distance from such obstacles.
•
The camera and radar sensor does not
have the capacity to detect all oncom-
ing objects and obstacles in traffic
environments, e.g. potholes, stationary
obstacles or objects which completely
or partially block the route.
•
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
•
The recommended steering input is
force limited, which means that Pilot
Assist cannot always help the driver to
steer and keep the car within the lane.
•

data, which may result in varied per-
formance.
•
Pilot Assist is switched off if the power
steering for speed related steering
force is working with reduced power –
e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
WARNING
Pilot Assist must only be used if there are
clear lane lines painted on each side of the
lane. All other use involves increased risk of
contact with surrounding obstacles that
cannot be detected by the function.
WARNING
•
This is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem. The driver is always responsible
and must intervene if the system does
not detect a vehicle ahead.
•
The function does not brake for
humans or animals, and not for small
vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-
cles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
•
Do not use the function in demanding
situations, such as in city traffic, at
junctions, 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 slip roads.
The driver always has the possibility of cor-
recting or adjusting a steering intervention
imposed by Pilot Assist and can turn the steer-
ing wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy load
Bear in mind that Pilot Assist is primarily
intended for use when driving on level road
surfaces. The function may have difficulty in
keeping the correct distance from the vehicle
ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes -
in which case, be extra attentive and ready to
brake.
Do not use Pilot Assist if the car has a heavy
load or a trailer is connected to the car.
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bicycle rack or similar is connected to the
car's electrical system.

Overtaking Assistance
*
Overtaking Assistance can help the driver
when overtaking other vehicles. The function
can be used with adaptive cruise control
*
or
Pilot Assist
*
.
When adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist is
following another vehicle and the driver indi-
cates the intention to overtake by activating
the direction indicator
86
, the systems help by
accelerating the vehicle towards the vehicle
ahead
before
the driver's vehicle reaches the
overtaking lane.
The function then delays reducing speed in
order to avoid premature braking when the
driver’s car is approaching a slower vehicle.
The function remains active until the driver’s
vehicle has cleared the overtaken vehicle.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be acti-
vated in more situations than during over-
taking, e.g. when a direction indicator is
used to indicate a change of lane or exit to
another road – the car will then accelerate
briefly.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver

would normally occur.
•
the vehicle ahead slows down before
the driver's car has crossed over into
the overtaking lane.
•
the traffic in the overtaking lane slows
down.
•
a right-hand drive car is driven in a
county with left-hand traffic (or vice

Situations of this kind can be avoided by
temporarily setting adaptive cruise control
or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Warning from driver support in the
event of a collision risk
The driver support systems of adaptive cruise
control
*
and Pilot Assist
*
can warn the driver
if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly
becomes too short.
Audio and symbol for collision warning
Acoustic signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Warning signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Distance measurement with the camera
and radar unit
Adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist use
approx. 40% of the capacity of the foot brake.
If the car needs to be braked more heavily
than the driver support is capable of and the
driver does not brake, the warning lamp and
acoustic warning are activated to alert the
driver that immediate intervention is required.
WARNING
The driver support systems only warn of
vehicles which their radar unit has detected
– hence a warning may not be given, or it
may be given with a certain delay. Never
wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when
the situation requires.
