Driving and driving safety systems

Notes on driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems that
assist you while driving, parking and maneuvering.
page 143).
The driving systems are only aids. They are not a
substitute for you paying attention to your sur-
roundings and do not relieve you of your responsi-
bility pertaining to road traffic law. The driver is
always responsible for maintaining a safe distance
to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for brak-
ing in good time and for staying in lane. Always pay
attention to the traffic and intervene if necessary.
Be aware of the limitations regarding the safe use
of these systems.
Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always
take into account road, weather or traffic condi-
tions.
Information about sensors
Certain driving and driving safety systems use sen-
sors
next to the vehicle (depending on the vehicle's
equipment).
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the radar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers and/or
behind the radiator grille. Keep these parts free of
dirt, ice and slush (

ing loads or stickers. After a collision, have the
function of the radar sensors checked at a quali-
fied specialist workshop as the bumper or radiator
grille may have sustained damage that cannot be
seen by the naked eye.
