Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver's personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
Warning
When using the trailer hitch, the assistance
system cannot react correctly because the
sensors are concealed. There may be a risk
of accidents or risk of damage to property. Do
not use the driver assistance system while
towing a trailer or when using the trailer hitch,
e.g., for a rear bicycle rack.
Warning
The system can steer the vehicle over or
onto curbs. There is a risk of injury or risk
of damage to property. Watch surrounding
traffic closely and actively intervene where
appropriate.
