Driver intervention prompt
If you take your hands off the steering wheel, the system prompts you within a few seconds to take over active steering by way of
acoustic warnings and a display on the instrument cluster.
Depending on equipment, the driver’s seat belt is also briefly tensioned.
Travel Assist will be deactivated if you do not respond to the prompt.
WARNING
Travel Assist is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the system. Travel Assist
cannot detect all driving situations and may not react or may react with a delay or in an undesired way. If you do not pay due
attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.
● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.
● Observe the system limits of ACC (→ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)) and Lane Assist (→ Lane keeping system (Lane Assist)).
● Adapt your speed and the distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
● Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
● Take control of the vehicle immediately if requested to do so by a prompt on the instrument cluster display or if the speed
reduction by Travel Assist is not sufficient.
● Brake if the vehicle starts moving unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
