Pilot Assist* standby mode

Pilot Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control1 can be deactivated and put in standby mode. This can take place automatically or be due to driver intervention.

Standby mode means that the function is selected in the instrument panel but not activated. The functions will then not regulate 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.

Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

 Warning

  • With Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode, the driver must intervene and regulate both speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
  • If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicle ahead when Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode, the driver can be warned of the short distance by the Distance Alert* function instead.

Automatic standby mode

 Warning

With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel.
  • The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, steer the vehicle and maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
The function may automatically go into standby mode if one of the following occurs.
  • One of the systems that Pilot Assist is dependent on stops working, such as Electronic Stability Control 2.
  • The driver opens the door.
  • The driver unbuckles the seat belt.
  • The engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
  • One or more of the wheels lose traction.
  • The brake temperature is high.
  • The parking brake is applied.
  • The camera and radar units are covered by snow or heavy rain (the camera lens/radar waves are blocked).
  • Your vehicle's speed goes below 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 below 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
