Important limits

  • ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving or collision-avoidance system; the driver must monitor traffic and remain ready to steer, brake or accelerate.
  • Steering Assist requires detectable lane markings and may be limited by curves, weather, glare, dirt or blocked cameras.
  • The system may not detect stationary or very slow vehicles in every condition; brake whenever necessary.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If SET− does not engage, check the driver display for a warning and verify the operating conditions described in the manual.
  • ✓If Steering Assist stays gray, move to a clearly marked lane, clean the windshield camera area and keep both hands on the wheel.
  • ✓If the status turns orange or a system fault remains displayed, stop using ProPILOT Assist and have the vehicle inspected.
