CAUTION
■
If water gets into the vehicle’s systems (e.g. the air intake system for the en-
gine) it can cause serious damage to the vehicle!
■
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
sible water level for your vehicle.
■
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. An vehicle
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.
Assist systems
General information
Introduction
WARNING
■
The assistance systems serve merely to support the driver and do not re-
lieve the driver of responsibility for the operation of the vehicle.
■
The increased safety as well as the increased occupant protection offered
by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take safety risks - there
is a risk of an accident!
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
■
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
■
Only activate, deactivate and set the assistance systems to keep you fully
in control of the vehicle in every traffic situation - otherwise there is a risk
of an accident!
