Warning
Principle
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react to
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, and property damage. 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.
Depending on the equipment, if the driving
mode view is activated, the displays in the in-
strument cluster will adapt to the respective
driving mode when a program is changed via
the Driving Experience Control.
