▷ When drive control systems or Driver Assis‐
tance Systems are activated or intervening.
▷ If the vehicle is stationary for several minutes.

versing; for example, at the maximum steer‐
ing angle.

System limits
▷ When you reach normal road traffic or if you
encounter an obstacle, stop immediately and

is stationary during the process of saving the
stretch.
▷ The speed is not adapted to the stretch of
road in question.
▷ Road conditions, for example gradients or
slopes.
