Important safety notes

If you fail to adapt your driving style or

become distracted, the driving safety

systems can neither reduce the risk of

accident nor override the laws of physics.

Driving safety systems are merely aids

designed to assist driving. You are

responsible for the distance to the vehicle in

front, for vehicle speed and for braking in

good time. Always adapt your driving style to

suit the prevailing road, weather and traffic

conditions and maintain a safe distance from

the vehicle in front. Drive carefully.

i

The driving safety systems described only

work as effectively as possible when there

is adequate contact between the tires and

the road surface. Please pay special

attention to the notes on tires,

recommended minimum tire tread depths,

etc. (
