What is ProPILOT?
ProPILOT is an advanced driving assistance system. It supports the driver with acceleration, braking and steering during single-lane motorway driving. ProPILOT is a combination of three functions and is only available on automatic transmissions.
1. Intelligent Cruise Control – Helps the driver to maintain a consistent speed and comfortable distance to the vehicle ahead.
2. Intelligent Lane Keep Assist – Provides steering assistance to help you remain centred in your lane.
3. Low speed situations and Traffic Jam Pilot – If the traffic slows down, ProPILOT can slow your car, bring you to a stop and then resume driving.
What is lane departure warning and intelligent lane intervention?
If the driver departs from the lane without turn signals, the lane departure warning icon flashes and the appropriate lane marker icon turns yellow. This then applies gentle brake pressure to keep the vehicle in the lane. ProPILOT and Intelligent Lane Intervention both work in parallel to each other.
How does ProPILOT benefit drivers?
- Liberates drivers from some of the more mundane elements of driving
- Reduces stress and fatigue
- Enhances control and confidence
- More confident and comfortable driving
