safety risks when driving. Careless or un-
intentional use of Local Hazard Informa-
tion can cause accidents and lead to seri-
ous injury. The system is not a substitute
for the full concentration of the driver.

Traffic
signs on the road and
traffic
reg-
ulations always have priority over driv-
ing recommendations.

self at all times.

tems menu in the Infotainment system.
