Pilot Assist and Collision risk warning
Pilot Assist can warn the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly becomes too short.
Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision risk
Distance measurement with the camera and radar unit
Pilot Assist uses approx. 40% of the foot brake's capacity. If the car needs to be braked more heavily than Pilot Assist is capable of and the driver does not brake, the warning lamp and acoustic warning are activated to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.
Note
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the windscreen difficult to recognise.
Warning
Pilot Assist only gives warning about vehicles detected by its camera and radar unit – therefore a warning may not occur or be delayed.
- Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when the situation requires!
