The counter-steering assistance is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system
limitations. In critical driving situations, uncontrolled vehicle movements can occur despite the counter-steering
assistance. If you do not pay attention, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.
Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the
vehicle.
Ensure that the vehicle is not steered by the counter-steering assistance.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
