WARNING!
Highway Assist is an SAE Level 2 Driver Assist feature,
requiring driver attention at all times. To prevent serious
injury or death:

Always remember that the Highways Assist system is
a convenience system that cannot accurately detect
all situations. Complete attention is always required
while driving, even when using the Highway Assist
system.

Always remain alert and be ready to take control of
the vehicle in the event that the Highway Assist
system deactivates, or otherwise lacks full function -
ality as described further before and after this
statement.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel when
the Highway Assist system is activated.
 Do not use a hand-held device when the Highway
Assist system is engaged.

Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and pay
attention to traffic conditions. The Highway Assist
system will not steer to avoid safety hazards,
constructions zones, objects, or road impediments.
You need to take control to steer and brake the
vehicle in such situations, and when merging into
traffic, exiting the highway, making a turn for
crossing traffic, or stopping for traffic control devices.

Do not place any objects on the steering wheel (e.g.
steering wheel covers) which could interfere with the
hand detection sensors.
