Pilot Assist uses approx. 40% of the vehicle's braking capacity. If a situation requires more braking force than Pilot Assist can provide, and if the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning light and audible warning signal will be activated to alert the driver that immediate action is required.

 Warning

Pilot Assist only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its camera and radar unit – thus, a warning may come after a delay or not at all.
  • Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary!
