WARNING
The exit warning system is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and works exclusively within the system limits. For
stationary, slow-moving or very fast approaching objects, the indicator may not light up or may not light up in time. If you do not pay
due attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.
● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.
● When opening doors, pay attention to the vehicle surroundings, e.g. pedestrians or cyclists.
