Activating and starting the Pilot Assist*

Pilot Assist must first be activated and then started to be able to control speed and distance and to give steering assistance.

Pilot Assist steering assistance is only active when the steering wheel symbol (2) has changed from GREY to GREEN.

Pilot Assist only regulates the time interval to the vehicle ahead when the distance symbol shows a vehicle (1) above the steering wheel symbol.

At the same time a speed range is marked.

The higher speed is the stored/selected speed and the lower speed is that of the vehicle ahead (target vehicle).

Hands on the steering wheel

In order for Pilot Assist to function, the driver must have his/her hands on the steering wheel. The system continually monitors this. If hands are not detected on the steering wheel then a text message is shown, prompting the driver to actively steer the car. If this is not done, an acoustic warning signal will also be given.

If that does not prompt the driver to put his/her hands on the steering wheel either, Pilot Assist changes to standby mode. Following which, Pilot Assist must be restarted with the steering wheel button P5-1507-Symbol 5x3,5-CC rattknapp Centrum-V.

Note

Note that Pilot Assist only works when the driver has hands on the steering wheel.
