of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the proactive occupant protection system tempt you into taking any safety risks. The
system cannot prevent a collision. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

The proactive occupant protection system does not react to people, animals, objects crossing in front of the vehicle, or objects which are
hard to make out.

system and thus prevent it from detecting a collision risk.
