Pilot Assist and collision warning
Pilot Assist can alert the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly decreases to an unsafe distance.
Audio-visual collision warning
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
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.
Note
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking straight ahead.
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!
