Pilot Assist*1 standby mode
Pilot Assist can be deactivated and put in standby mode. This may happen automatically or be due to driver intervention.
Standby mode means that the function is selected in the instrument panel but not activated. In standby mode, Pilot Assist will not regulate the speed or distance to the vehicle ahead or provide steering assistance.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be deactivated and put in standby mode if any of the following occurs:
- The brakes are applied.
- The gear selector is moved to N.
- A turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
- The vehicle is driven faster than the set speed for more than 1 minute.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC2). If any of these other systems stops working, Pilot Assist will be automatically deactivated.
Warning
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a message on the instrument panel.
- The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, and maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby mode if, e.g.:
- the driver opens the door.
- the brake temperature is high.
- the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel.
- the parking brake is applied.
- the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
- the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
- one or more of the wheels lose traction.
- the camera/radar sensor is covered by snow or heavy rain (the camera lens/radar waves are blocked).
- your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if the vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is 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.
