Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the
limits of the system, it cannot independ-
ently react to all traffic situations. There is
a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to
traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding
traffic situation closely, be ready to take
over steering and braking at any time, and
actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
When driving with a roof load, e.g., roof
bars, the vehicle's center of gravity is
higher. This increases the risk of the ve-
hicle tipping in critical driving situations.
There may be a risk of accidents or risk of
damage to property. Drive with roof load
only with activated Dynamic Stability Con-
trol.
