WARNING
•
The "Steering assistance at risk of rear-
end collision" subfunction is supplemen-
tary driver support intended to improve
driving safety – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
Steering assistance is only activated if
there is a high risk of collision – you must
therefore never wait for the function to
intervene.
•
The function is not a substitute for the
driver's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring
the car is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
