Assisted Driving Mode Plus
Principle
Assisted Driving Mode Plus provides assis-
tance when driving on highways.
Warning
This system is only intended for use on roads

roads without structural separations and may
not react as expected. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, or property damage. Deactivate
the system if it is enabled on roads without
structural separations.
The system increases driving comfort in suita-
ble driving situations.
Sensors in the steering wheel detect whether
the steering wheel is being touched.
Different versions of this function are available
depending on vehicle equipment and national-
market version.
