Pilot Assist's steering assistance is only active when the steering wheel symbol (2) changes from GRAY to GREEN.

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

A speed interval will be marked at the same time.

The higher speed is the set speed for your vehicle and the lower speed is the speed of the vehicle ahead (target vehicle).

Hands on the steering wheel

Pilot Assist only functions if the driver's hands are on the steering wheel. If Pilot Assist detects that the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, the driver will be instructed to actively steer the vehicle by a text message and an audible signal.

If Pilot Assist still cannot detect the driver's hands on the steering wheel, the function will go into standby mode. Pilot Assist must then be reactivated by pressing the P5-1507-Symbol 5x3,5-CC rattknapp Centrum-V button on the steering wheel.

 Note

Note that the Pilot Assist function only works when the driver's hands are on the steering wheel.
