Switching target vehicles with Pilot Assist
At certain speeds, models with automatic transmissions and Pilot Assist can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles
When Pilot Assist is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and switches targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, Pilot Assist will brake for the stationary vehicle.
Warning
When Pilot Assist follows another vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary one – Pilot Assist will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed.
- The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching targets
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standby mode if:
- your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h (3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if the target object is a stationary vehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
- your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
