Deactivating and activating Pilot Assist is done in the same way. You simply pull the right-hand steering wheel stalk downwards. You can also deactivate Pilot Assist by braking.
When you deactivate Pilot Assist, all of its assistance is turned off. This includes speed- and distance-keeping, as well as steering assistance.
Deactivating Pilot Assist using the stalk
Pull the right-hand steering wheel stalk all the way down.
Deactivation is confirmed in the instrument panel.
Deactivating by braking
Press down on the brake pedal.
Deactivation is confirmed in the instrument panel.
Note
Automatic deactivation
Pilot Assist has several limitations and only works if all the necessary conditions are met. If the driving conditions change during your drive, Pilot Assist can deactivate automatically.
Examples of scenarios where Pilot Assist may automatically deactivate include instances where:
- You are not driving actively. You must stay attentive and keep both of your hands on the steering wheel, even if steering assistance is activated.
- You open a door or unbuckle your seat belt.
- You change gears. Pilot Assist can only support you when D is selected.
- You leave the turn signal on for a long time when driving with steering assistance. This can indicate that you are not fully focused.
- You manually speed up and maintain a higher driving speed than the target speed. This indicates that you want to return to full manual control of your vehicle.
- Camera or radar conditions for Pilot Assist are not met.
