WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Emergency Assist cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics; it only works
within the limits of the system. The driver is
responsible for driving the vehicle.
● Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit the
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
●
to be ready to intervene in the steering at any
time.
The Emergency Assist alone cannot always
●
avoid accidents or serious injuries.
