Driving and driving safety systems

Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
which assist you in driving, parking and maneu‐
vering the vehicle. The driving systems are only
aids. They are not a substitute for your attention
to the surroundings and do not relieve you of
your responsibility pertaining to road traffic law.
The driver is always responsible for maintaining
a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, for braking in good time and for staying
in lane. Pay attention to the traffic conditions at
all times and intervene when necessary. Be
aware of the limitations regarding the safe use of
these systems.
Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always
take into account road, weather or traffic condi‐
tions.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
radar sensors are integrated behind the
bumpers and/or behind the radiator grill.
Some driving and driving safety systems use
cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to
the vehicle.
Keep the areas around the sensors and cameras
free of dirt, ice or slush (
page 341). The cam‐
/
eras and sensors must not be covered, for exam‐
ple by bicycle racks, overhanging loads, stickers,
foil or foils to protect against stone chipping.
Additional license plate brackets can impair the
function of the ultrasonic sensors, in particular.
In the event of damage or a severe impact in the
area of the sensors, have the function of the
sensors checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Have damage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras repaired at a qualified specialist
workshop. If the sensors or cameras are dam‐
aged, some driving systems and driving safety
systems may no longer function properly.
