Activating Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can be activated either with or without steering assistance. The activation symbol in the driver display reflects whether your car is assisting your steering or not.
By selecting Pilot Assist as default in settings, you ensure that Pilot Assist with steering assistance, instead of adaptive cruise control, is your default assisted driving feature. You can then switch between Pilot Assist and adaptive cruise control using the steering wheel buttons while driving.
Pilot Assist must be enabled in settings to be available for activation.1
