To use Pilot Assist safely, it's important to be aware of its limitations. While it's an advanced function, there  
are conditions and situations that it cannot handle.  
Driver responsibility when using Pilot Assist  
A main limitation of Pilot Assist that you need to be aware of relates to driver responsibility. When using the function, you are  
still required to actively and attentively drive the car. You are responsible for all decision-making, actions and responses that are  
part of driving.  
Pilot Assist does not know your intentions or the intentions of other drivers. It cannot predict or identify every potentially haz-  
ardous situation that an attentive driver can. It's your responsibility to continuously assess Pilot Assist's performance and act if  
necessary. As long as you judge its input to be correct, you can let it guide your driving.  
Important  
Driving conditions  
Assessing Pilot Assist's performance requires that you take all driving, traffic, weather or road conditions into considera-  
tion. For example, if there is poor visibility you may need to increase the distance to vehicles ahead compared to the dis-  
tance kept by Pilot Assist. The same applies to maintaining a speed that is safe for the current road and traffic conditions.  
Improved safety and convenience  
When used correctly, Pilot Assist can improve safety and reduce the effort of driving. In some cases, it can compensate  
for driver errors, such as mistakes caused by lapses of attention or distractions. This potential benefit is a supplement to  
safe driving practices. It does not reduce or replace the need for the driver to stay attentive and focused on driving safely.  
Driver readiness  
Using speed- and distance-keeping features can result in long periods of you not using the pedals. However, you must  
remain prepared and ready to brake or accelerate manually if necessary. Avoid changing your driving posture in ways that  
can delay your response time.  
Hands on the wheel  
Pilot Assist can guide your steering but you are still required to keep your hands on the steering wheel, just like when  
driving unassisted. As long as you judge the steering input to be correct, you can let Pilot Assist guide your steering.  
Emergency stop  
The car can initiate a controlled stop if the driver doesn't respond to requests to actively drive the car and keep their hands  
on the steering wheel. During the stopping manoeuvre, the car utilises all of the information it continuously collects  
about its surroundings to come to a controlled stop in the lane of the road you're on. It also activates the hazard warning  
lights to warn other drivers.  
You can always override the stop manoeuvre by actively steering, braking or accelerating. This indicates that you are at-  
tentive again and available to continue the drive.  
Speed range for Pilot Assist  
Pilot Assist is available at different speeds depending on the context of activation and use.  
You can set target speeds between 30ꢀ150 km/h (20ꢀ90 mph).

270 / 396  
When following another vehicle, Pilot Assist can stay active below 30 km/h (20 mph).  
In situations where you are driving slowly behind other vehicles, such as in a traffic queue, you may be able to activate  
Pilot Assist despite driving slower than 30 km/h (20 mph). This requires a vehicle ahead whose speed your car can  
match.[1]  
Activation and availability  
Several conditions must be met to activate Pilot Assist. They can be related to the current traffic and road conditions or the car's  
system status. Some are related to the car being driving-ready, such as the driver wearing their seatbelt and all doors being  
closed. Others relate to your current driving situation, such as driving at a speed within the speed range for Pilot Assist. If activ-  
ation is prevented, the specific reason is typically communicated in the driver information area.  
Keeping track of vehicles ahead  
One of Pilot Assist's capabilities is to adapt the car's speed to a vehicle ahead and maintain a certain distance to it. Pilot Assist's  
behaviour and ability to track traffic ahead depends on several factors, such as your speed and the speed of the vehicle in front.  
Very slow or stationary vehicles in front of you can make Pilot Assist behave differently, depending on the situation and your  
speed:  
If Pilot Assist follows a vehicle that comes to a stop, Pilot Assist slows your car down to a stop behind the other vehicle.  
If a stopped vehicle is detected ahead of you, Pilot Assist will slow your car down in an attempt to stop behind the other  
vehicle.  
Depending on your driving speed, the car may not be able to reach a full stop behind the vehicle in front. You are always  
responsible for keeping track of the surrounding traffic and driving the car in a way that allows you to react and control  
it safely.  
When driving at high speeds, stationary vehicles in front of you can be misinterpreted by Pilot Assist, such as when  
catching up to a stationary traffic queue. In a situation like this, Pilot Assist will not consider the stopped cars or slow your  
car down. Always be attentive and available to control your car and brake when necessary.  
Warning  
Stopped or slow vehicles ahead  
A stopped vehicle in your lane is a collision risk that requires you to act by braking or steering.[2]  
At low speeds, Pilot Assist may pause when following another vehicle if:  
there is uncertainty whether what's detected in front is a stopped vehicle or another object[3]  
.
the vehicle ahead makes a turn and leaves your driving path.  
you manually steer the car out of your current lane.  
Car status and systems  
Pilot Assist relies on the accurate detection and identification of surrounding traffic and road conditions. This includes using in-  
formation from cameras, radars and other sensors. The detection system cannot handle all driving, traffic, weather or road con-  
ditions. Read the separate manual sections about detection types, how they work and their limitations to better understand  
how Pilot Assist's performance can be affected.  
Several of Pilot Assist's features depend on other systems in the car.

To adapt the speed to vehicles ahead, the car uses a combination of radar and camera detection. Consequently, conditions  
and limitations of these systems can affect the availability and performance of this feature.  
When Pilot Assist's set speed is set to adapt to the speed limit, the value is provided by the car's road sign information  
system. In some conditions, it may not be able to provide an accurate speed limit.  
Steering assistance is only available when the car can identify its position on the road through camera detection of lane  
markings.  
This requires that the road conforms to certain standards.  
Conditions and limitations of the car's camera detection can affect the availability and performance of steering  
assistance.  
Important  
Car faults  
Certain car faults can affect the availability of driver support features. Check the car status view for indicated issues if  
Pilot Assist is unavailable.  
Car alterations  
Modifications, repairs and accessory installations can negatively affect or limit driver support features. There is a separate  
manual section with detailed information on this topic.  
Other conditions and limitations  
Pilot Assist is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. It may have difficulty keeping the correct  
distance to vehicles ahead on steep downhill slopes.  
Do not use Pilot Assist when driving with a trailer or heavy loads.  
[1]  
Pilot Assist's lowest target speed is 30 km/h (20 mph), even if your speed at activation is lower than that.  
[2]  
Your car can still warn you of the collision risk and perform a safety intervention if you fail to react in time. This can happen  
separately from Pilot Assist's capabilities.  
[3]  
Such as obstacles designed to encourage slow driving.
