Driving with Travel Assist
Travel Assist automatically regulates the speed and steers the vehicle. Within the system limitations, Travel Assist can also bring the vehicle to a halt behind a
stopping vehicle and drive on again.
You can override the Travel Assist regulation function at any time.

WARNING
The intelligent technology of the Travel Assist cannot overcome the natural laws of physics, and it can only operate within the limits of the system. Careless or
unintended use of the Travel Assist can cause accidents and serious injuries. The system cannot replace the driver's attention.
Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions.
Never use Travel Assist when visibility is poor or when roads are steep, winding, flooded, or slippery, for example from snow, ice, moisture, or gravel.
Never use Travel Assist when driving off-road or on unpaved roads. Travel Assist is only designed for use on paved roads.
Travel Assist does not react to persons, animals, vehicles crossing the lane or vehicles coming towards you in the same lane.
Take over steering immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears in the instrument cluster display or the deceleration by the Travel Assist is not
sufficient.
Apply the brakes if the vehicle continues to roll unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time. The driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle
within the lane.
Always be ready to resume control of the vehicle speed.
