General information


Introduction
WARNING
The following general information regarding the use of assistance systems
must be observed.
The assistance systems only serve to support and do not relieve the driv-
■
er of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
■
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
■
and traffic conditions.
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
■
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
Only activate, deactivate or set the assistance systems so that you have
■
the car fully under control in every traffic situation - risk of accident!
