WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
limited detection performance of Active

an aid. The driver is responsible for
maintaining a sufficiently safe distance
to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed
and for braking in good time.
#
Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec‐
essary.
Also observe the system limits of Active Brake
Assist.
