Dr Driving and dr iving and driving safe iving safety syst ty systems
N N o o t t es on dr es on driving syst iving systems and y ems and your r
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
which assist you in driving, parking and maneuver-
ing the vehicle. The driving systems are only aids.
These cannot replace your attention to the sur-
roundings and do not release you from your
responsibility under road tra c law. The driver is
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front,
for vehicle speed, braking in good time and for
staying in lane. Always pay attention to the tra c
and intervene if necessary. Be aware of the limita-
tions regarding the safe use of these systems.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, the driving
systems can neither reduce the risk of accident
nor override the laws of physics. The road and
weather conditions as well as the tra c situation
cannot always be taken into account.

Some driving and driving safety systems use cam-
eras and radar or ultrasonic sensors to monitor the
area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle.
