vehicles driving in front.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, indica-
tor lamps on the instrument cluster display

Driver intervention prompt
If you take your hands off the steering wheel,
the system prompts you within a few sec-
onds to take over active steering by way of
acoustic warnings and a display on the in-
strument cluster.
Travel Assist will be deactivated if you do not
respond to the prompt.
Alternatively, depending on vehicle equip-
ment, Emergency Assist will be activated if
Emergency Assist is switched on in the Info-
tainment system.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Travel
Assist cannot overcome the physical limits
specified, and functions only within the
limits of the system. Careless or uninten-
tional use of Travel Assist can cause acci-
dents and serious injuries. The system is
not a substitute for the full concentration
of the driver.
·
Observe the system limits and informa-
tion on Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
and the lane keeping system (Lane As-
sist).
·
Adapt your speed and the distance from
the vehicles ahead to suit visibility,
weather, road and traffic conditions.
·
Never use Travel Assist in poor visibility,
on steep or winding roads, or on slippery
road surfaces, e.g. due to snow, ice, wet
roads, loose chippings, or on flooded
roads.
·
Never use Travel Assist offroad or on un-
surfaced roads. Travel Assist is designed
for use on surfaced roads only.
·
Travel Assist does not react to persons,
animals or vehicles crossing or ap-
proaching in the same lane.
·
Brake immediately if a brake request is
displayed on the instrument cluster dis-
play or if the speed reduction by Travel
Assist is not sufficient.
·
Brake if the vehicle starts rolling unin-
tentionally, e.g. after a brake request.
·
Your hands should always be on the
steering wheel so that you are ready to
steer at any time. The driver is always
responsible for staying in the lane.
·
Take control of the vehicle immediately
if a driver intervention prompt appears
on the instrument cluster display.
·
Be prepared to control the speed your-
self at all times.
