Driving and driving safety systems

Driving systems and your responsibility

Information on vehicle sensors and cameras

Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems

which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu-

vring the vehicle. The driving systems are only

aids. They are not a substitute for you paying

attention to your surroundings and do not relieve

you of your responsibility pertaining to road traﬃc

law. The driver is always responsible for maintain-

ing a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi-

cle speed, for braking in good time and for staying

in lane. Pay attention to the traﬃc conditions at

all times and intervene when necessary. Be aware

of the limitations regarding the safe use of these

systems.

Some driving and driving safety systems use cam-

eras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to

monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the

vehicle.
