system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if Traffic Jam Assist is used negli-

replacement for driver awareness.
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
●
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in city jour-
●

●
poor visibility, for example, in case of snow,
ice, rain or loose gravel, or on steep or slip-
pery sections or flooded roads.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist offroad or
●
on roads where the surface is not firm. Traf-
fic Jam Assist has been designed for use on
paved roads only.
Traffic Jam Assist does not react to peo-
●
ple or animals or vehicles crossing your
path or that approach you head-on down
the same lane.
If Traffic Jam Assist does not reduce
●
speed sufficiently, brake the vehicle imme-
diately by applying the pedal.

Driving
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
●
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time. The driver is always responsible
for keeping the vehicle in its own lane.
Always be prepared to take charge of
●
driving (accelerating or braking) yourself.
Note
If Traffic Jam Assist does not work as de-
●
scribed in this chapter, stop using it and
contact a specialised workshop.
If the system is faulty, take it to a special-
●
ised workshop and have it checked.
