This function is an additional driving aid. It can under no circumstances

replace the driver’s responsibility to respect speed limits and safe dis-

tances and to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

Apart from the speed limit signs and road map information from the mapping (ve-

hicles fitted with the “Road sign detection” function and a subscription), other traf-

fic information (traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, etc.) is not taken into account

by the system. The driver must always adapt their speed to the surroundings and

driving conditions, regardless of system indications.
