WARNING

The driver assistance systems are not a replacement for the driver's attention and work only within their system limitations. The driver assistance systems cannot detect all driving situations and may not provide warnings or react, or may provide warnings or react with a delay, or may provide warnings or react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

• Be aware of the limits of the sensor system and the system limitations of the individual systems.

• Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions.

• Be prepared to override or interrupt automatic interventions at all times.

• Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the displays accordingly when the traffic situation allows.

• Do not use driver assistance systems if you suspect a problem or damage.
