10.4.2.5. Enabling and disabling steering assistance when
driving
Pilot Assist's steering assistance can be easily enabled or disabled using the steering wheel buttons. This
allows you to control it without going into settings while driving.
Steering assistance is part of Pilot Assist and can only be used when Pilot Assist is active.
If steering assistance is unavailable for some reason, such as due to deteriorated lane markings, you won't be able to activate it.
However, by enabling steering assistance, it will automatically activate when the required conditions are met.
Note
Temporary loss of steering assistance
The availability of active steering assistance depends on the conditions you are experiencing. For example, if you en-
counter a stretch of road with worn out markings, the car may temporarily turn steering assistance off. If this happens
you are notified with vibrations in the steering wheel.
Press the steering assistance button
on the steering wheel.

Steering assistance is either enabled or disabled.

If enabled, steering assistance activates automatically when the required conditions are met.
If disabled, Pilot Assist will remain active but mainly provide speed- and distance-keeping.
10.4.2.6. Changing lanes with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance during lane changes in certain conditions. This Pilot Assist
feature is called lane change assist.
Pilot Assist automatically provides steering assistance during your lane changes if all conditions are met.
In addition to the general conditions for using Pilot Assist, conditions for assisted lane changes include:
Both steering assistance and lane change assist are enabled in Pilot Assist's settings.
Pilot Assist is active.
The conditions for steering assistance are met.
The traffic situation allows a lane change.
The car checks if the conditions for an assisted lane change are met, such as the adjacent lane being available. However,
the responsibility to assess and decide whether a lane change can be done safely ultimately lies with the driver.
There are road and driving conditions that do not supply the car with enough information for it to provide steering
assistance during a lane change. In such situations, the driver can still perform unassisted lane changes. This disables
steering assistance until its conditions are met again.
