Safety notes
G
Warning!
The following factors increase the risk of
accidents:
R
Excessive speed, especially in turns
R
Wet and slippery road surfaces
R
Following another vehicle too closely
The driving safety systems described in this
section cannot reduce these risks or pre-
vent the natural laws of physics from acting
on the vehicle. They cannot increase brak-
ing or steering efficiency beyond that
afforded by the condition of the vehicle
brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can
prevent accidents.
The capabilities of a vehicle equipped with
the driving safety systems described in this
section must never be exploited in a reck-
less or dangerous manner which could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of
others.
Always adjust your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions and
keep a safe distance to other road users
and objects on the street.
If a driving system malfunctions, other driv-
ing safety systems may also switch off.
Observe indicator and warning lamps that
may come on as well as messages in the
multifunction display that may appear.
