button (2) on the left-side steering wheel keypad.Pilot Assist will go into active mode and the current speed will be stored and displayed in the center of the speedometer.
or
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is only active when the steering wheel symbol (2) changes from GRAY to GREEN.
And Pilot Assist will only regulate the time interval to the vehicle ahead when a vehicle symbol (1) is displayed above the steering wheel.
At the same time, a speed interval will be marked.

Warning
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for steering or applying the brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle.
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding driving conditions such as city driving or other heavy traffic situations, in slippery conditions, when there is a great deal of water or slush on the road, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
- the lane's side market lines are missing, badly faded or cross each other.
- the division of lanes is not clear, e.g., when a line divides or merges with another, at exits or if there are many road signs/markers.
- there are edges or other lines on or near the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repaired areas, sharp shadows, etc.
- the lane is narrow or winding.
- the lane is at the top of a hill, on an uneven road surface or over a bump.
- bad weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
- High curbs, barriers and temporary obstacles (cones, barriers etc) may not be detected or could be detected incorrectly as side marker lines, which may create a risk of collision. The driver must ensure a safe distance to these obstacles.
- The camera or radar sensor may not be able to detect objects if there are potholes or if there are stationary objects partially or completely blocking the road.
- Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians, animals, etc.
- Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limited and may not always be able to help the driver keep the vehicle in the lane.
Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions when the driver's hands are on the steering wheel, which is continuously monitored by the system. If this is not the case, the driver will be alerted by a text message in the instrument panel. If the driver's hands are not returned to the steering wheel, an audible signal will sound.
If the driver does not return his/her hands to the steering wheel after the audible signal, Pilot Assist will go into standby mode and must be reactivated by pressing .
