Pilot Assist*41 standby mode
Pilot Assist can be deactivated and put in
standby mode. This may happen automati-
cally or be due to driver intervention.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h
(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so
that Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to
follow.

WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned by an acoustic signal and a mes-
sage on the instrument panel.
Standby mode means that the function is
selected in the instrument panel but not acti-
vated. In standby mode, Pilot Assist will not
regulate the speed or distance to the vehicle
ahead or provide steering assistance.

The driver must then regulate vehicle
speed, apply the brakes if necessary,
and maintain a safe distance to other
vehicles.

(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine
