Activating Pilot Assist

You activate Pilot Assist by pressing the Pilot Assist steering wheel button while driving. It's important to assess whether the current driving conditions allow you to use Pilot Assist safely.

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.

 Tip

Pilot Assist without steering assistance is also called adaptive cruise control or ACC.

 Important

Before using Pilot Assist

Take the time to read everything about Pilot Assist in this manual before using it for the first time. Understanding its capabilities and limitations is important for safe use.

Assess the situation

Make sure the traffic situation and conditions are suitable for activation. Wait until ongoing manoeuvres, such as a lane change, are completed before activating Pilot Assist.

Activating Pilot Assist

When it's safe to do so, press the Pilot Assist button on the steering wheel once.

Activation is confirmed in the driver display. Your speed at the time of activation becomes the target speed.

If Pilot Assist is set to adapt to the road's speed limit, it will use the current speed limit as its target speed.

When Pilot Assist is active, you can adjust the target speed and the time interval to vehicles ahead using the steering wheel buttons.

 Tip

Resume Pilot Assist

If you recently used Pilot Assist, you can use the resume button on the steering wheel to activate Pilot Assist and resume your last settings.

Pressing the resume button when Pilot Assist is already active sets the current speed limit as your target speed.

Pilot Assist symbols

When Pilot Assist is active, its level of support is shown via symbols and graphics in the driver display.
