Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
whic
h assist you in driving, parking and manoeu-
vring 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 traPclaw. The driver is always responsible for maintain-
ing a saf
e distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi-
cle speed, for braking in good time and for staying
in lane. Pay attention to the traPc conditions at
all times and intervene when necessary. Be aware
of the limitations regarding the safe use of these
systems.
Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always
take into account road, weather or traPc condi-
tions. Information on vehicle sensors and cameras
Some driving and driving safety systems use cam-
er

as as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to
monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the
vehicle. Driving and parking
