Driving Assist (Travel Assist)
Introduction
The driving assist (Travel Assist) combines
adaptive cruise control (ACC) and adaptiv
e
lane guidance. Within the limitations of the
system, the vehicle can maintain a distance
from the vehicle in front that is preselected by
the driver and remain in the preferred position
within the lane.
Travel Assist uses the same sensors as Adap-
tive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist.
Therefore, carefully read the information
about the ACC
›››
page 229 and the Lane
Assist
›››
page 239 and take into account the
limitations of the systems and the indications
contained therein.
Speed range
Travel Assist adjusts at speeds between ap-
prox. 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph) and approx.
210 km/h (approx. 130 mph); in the case of
the adaptive lane guidance function, be-
tween 0 km/h (0 mph) and approx. 250 km/h
(approx. 155 mph). This range may vary de-
pending on the market.
Driving with Travel Assist
Travel Assist automatically controls the ac-
celerator pedal, the brakes and the steering.
In addition, Travel Assist may, within its limita-
tions, decelerate the vehicle until it stops be-
hind another that stops and automatically
st
arts again.
You can override assisted adjustment at all
times.
How to know if the vehicle is fitted with
Travel Assist

multifunction steering wheel has the button

Driver intervention prompt
If you remove your hands from the steering
wheel, after a few seconds the system asks
you to take over the steering with an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
WARNING
The Travel Assist smart technology cannot
over
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and it only works within the limits of
the system. If Travel assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.

Bear in mind the system limitations and
the indications regarding the control of the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane
Assist.
