Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is

not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

● Take over steering immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears in the instrument cluster display or the

deceleration by Travel Assist is not sufficient.

● Apply the brakes if the vehicle continues to roll unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
