Safety information
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per-
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa-
tion correctly. Due to system limits, it cannot
respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic
conditions. Observe the traffic situation, be
ready to take over steering and braking at
any time, and actively intervene if the situa-
tion warrants it.
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not relieve you
of your personal responsibility. System limits
can mean that warnings or system respon-
ses are not issued or are issued too late, in-
correctly or for no reason. There is a risk of
accident. Adapt your driving style to the traffic
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and
intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
Individual functions may malfunction when
tow-starting or towing away with activa-
ted front-collision warning or Cruise Control
switched on. There is a risk of accident. Turn
off the front-collision warning and Cruise
Control before tow-starting or towing away.
