Assist, within the system limitations, the  
vehicle can maintain a distance, which  
has been preselected by the driver, to  
the vehicle in front and hold the  
preferred position within the lane  
(adaptive lane guidance).  
Travel Assist uses the same sensor technology as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist). Therefore, carefully read all the  
information about the ACC and Lane Assist and take note of the system limitations and notes specified in those sections.  
Does this vehicle have Travel Assist?  
The vehicle has Travel Assist, if the

to, from 0 km/h (0 mph) to around 250 km/h (approximately 155 mph), for the adaptive lane guidance. This speed range may vary depending on the country.
