Deactivating/activating the Pilot Assist*
Deactivating and setting Pilot Assist in standby mode
(1).or
Standby mode on driver intervention
When the direction indicators or the accelerator pedal are being operated, Pilot Assist is temporarily disabled and set in standby mode. When these conditions no longer apply, Pilot Assist is reactivated automatically.
Automatic reactivation from standby mode must take place within 1 minute - Pilot Assist must thereafter be activated manually with the steering wheel button.
- the foot brake is used
- the gear selector is moved to N position.
The driver does not then receive any control recommendation and must control both the speed and distance. Alternatively, the driver can manually reactivate Pilot Assist with the steering wheel button.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such as the Electronic Stability Control system. If any of these systems ceases to function then the Pilot Assist is disengaged automatically.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and a message is shown in the driver display. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding traffic.
- the camera cannot "see" the lane lines
- there is no vehicle within a reasonable distance ahead
- the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel
- the driver takes off the seatbelt
- engine speed is too low/high
- wheels lose traction
- brake temperature is high
- the parking brake is applied
- the camera and radar unit is covered by e.g. wet snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/radio waves are blocked).
