Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only. It may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. Exit Warning feature can operate for a brief period after vehicle is switched off. It cannot warn occupants of stationary objects, and may not alert occupants to cyclists, pedestrians, or vehicles approaching at certain speeds or from certain angles. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It does not adapt cruising speed in response to stationary objects, nor does it predict the curvature and lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to posted speed limits, traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
