Hands on the steering wheel

In order for Pilot Assist to function, the driver must have his/her hands on the steering wheel. The system continually monitors this. If hands are not detected on the steering wheel then a text message is shown, prompting the driver to actively steer the car. If this does not take place, an acoustic warning signal is given.

If the driver still does not place his or her hands on the wheel, Pilot Assist is deactivated. Pressing the steering wheel button P5-1507-Symbol 5x3,5-CC rattknapp Centrum-V reactivates Pilot Assist.

 Note

Note that Pilot Assist only works when the driver has hands on the steering wheel.
