Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is
responsible for complying with road tra c regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.

applies to the following situations, for example:

unclear roads

road narrowing
R
varying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
vidual lanes, for example at toll stations
R
wet road surfaces, snow or ice

and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.
