Speed range Travel
Assist regulates at speeds between approx. 30 km/h
(approx. 20 mph) and approx. 210 km/h (approx. 130
mph); in the case of the adaptive lane guidance
function, between 0 km/h (0 mph) and approx. 250 km/
h (approx. 155 mph). This range may vary depending
on the country.
If you do not react to this request, the system warns you
by causing a brief jerk to brake.
In addition, depending on the equipment, it briefly
tightens your seat belt.
The Travel Assist is then deactivated.
Driving with Travel Assist
Depending on the equipment, the emergency assistant
(Emergency Assist) is activated instead.
Travel Assist automatically regulates the speed and
steers the vehicle. In addition, Travel Assist can, within
its limitations, slow the vehicle to a stop behind a
stopped vehicle and resume driving automatically.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of Travel Assist cannot
overcome the limits imposed by the laws of physics
and only works within the limits of the system. If Travel
Assist is used carelessly or inadvertently, accidents
and personal injury may result.
You can override the Travel Assist setting at any time.
