Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems that
assist you in driving, parking and maneuvering the
vehicle. The driving systems are only aids. They
are not a substitute for you paying attention to
your surroundings and do not relieve you of your
responsibility pertaining to road traffic law. The
driver is always responsible for maintaining a safe
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed,
for braking in good time and for staying in lane.
Pay attention to the traffic conditions at all times
and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the
limitations regarding the safe use of these sys-
tems.
