Driving with Travel Assist
Travel Assist automatically controls the accel-
erator pedal, the brakes and the steering.
In addition, Travel Assist may, within its limi-
tations, decelerate the vehicle until it stops
behind another that stops and automatically
starts again.
You can override assisted adjustment at all
times.

on the instrument panel display and acoustic

Depending on the equipment, Emergency As-
sist activates if it is activated in the infotain-

WARNING
The Travel Assist smart technology cannot
overcome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and it only works within the limits
of the system. If Travel assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Bear in mind the system limitations and
the indications regarding the control of the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane As-
sist.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to
suit visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Do not use Travel Assist when visibility is
bad, on steep roads, on windy roads or in slip-
pery circumstances (e. g., snow, ice, rain or
loose gravel), or on flooded roads.
●
Do not use Travel Assist offroad or on roads
where the surface is not firm. Travel Assist
has been designed for use on paved roads
only.
●
Travel Assist does not react to people or
animal or vehicles crossing your path or
which approach you head-on in the same
lane.
●
Brake immediately if Travel Assist does not
slow down enough.
