th e driver can increase or reduce at any time.
The speed can be adjus ted between 20 km/h
and 200 km/h.

age: The speed can be adju sted between
20 km/h and 210 km/h.

fo llo ws theve hicle ahead without the inter ven‐
tion of the driver. This is only possible if theve hi‐
cle is tr avelling on a mo torw ay or a high-speed
major road. If an obs tacle is de tected in front of
th eve hicle during the driving-off procedure, a
ta ke ove rwa rning is given. Acceleration is
re duced, the driver is given a visual and acoustic
wa rning and must stop theve hicle before reach‐
ing the obs tacle or take evasive action.
