Important safety notes
If you
fail to adapt your driving style or if
you are inattentive, the driving safety sys-
tems can neither reduce the risk of acci-
dent nor override the laws of physics. Driv-
ing 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.
The driving safety systems described only
work as effectively as possible when there
is adequate contact between the tyres and
the road surface. Please pay special atten-
tion to the notes on tyres, recommended
minimum tyre tread depths, etc.
(Y page 248).
In wintry driving conditions, always use
winter tyres (M+S tyres) and, if necessary,
snow chains. Only in this way will the driv-
ing safety systems described in this sec-
tion work as effectively as possible.
