Deactivating/activating Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can be temporarily deactivated so
that it is set in the standby mode and can be
reactivated later.

standby mode:
–
Press the steering wheel button (2).
> Pilot Assist is set in standby mode - the
symbol (8) in the driver display changes
colour from WHITE to GREY and the
stored speed in the centre of the speed-
ometer changes from BEIGE to GREY.

Press the steering wheel button ◀ (3).

WARNING
•
With Pilot Assist in standby mode, the
driver must intervene and steer, regulat-
ing both speed and distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
•
When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and
the car comes too close to a vehicle
ahead, the driver is warned of the short
distance by the Distance Warning func-
tion instead.
Standby mode on driver intervention
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and set in
standby mode if:
•
the foot brake is used.
•
the gear selector is moved to N position.
•
the direction indicators are used for longer
than 1 minute.
•
the driver maintains a speed higher than the
stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
•
the clutch pedal is depressed for
approx. 1 minute - applies to cars with man-
ual gearbox.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
When the direction indicators are used, Pilot
Assist steering assistance is temporarily disen-
gaged. When this is no longer the case, steering
assistance is automatically reactivated if the
lane's side markings can still be detected.
