steering by way of acoustic warnings and a display on the instrument cluster.
Travel Assist will be deactivated if you do not respond to the prompt.
Alternatively, Emergency Assist will be activated(with some equipment levels).
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Travel Assist cannot overcome the physical limits specified, and functions only
within the limits of the system. Careless or unintentional use of Travel Assist can cause accidents and serious
injuries. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
● Observe the system limits and information on Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC) and the lane keeping system (Lane
Assist).
● Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
● Never use Travel Assist in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces, e.g. due to snow,
ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.
● Never use Travel Assist offroad or on unsurfaced roads. Travel Assist is designed for use on surfaced roads only.
● Travel Assist does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.
● Take control of the vehicle immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears on the instrument cluster display
or if Travel Assist does not reduce the speed sufficiently.
● Apply the brakes if the vehicle starts rolling unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
● Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you are ready to steer at any time. The driver is always
responsible for staying in lane.
● Take control of the vehicle immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears on the instrument cluster display.
● Be prepared to control the speed yourself at all times.
