Hints
Personal responsibility
The system does not serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic situation.
Be aware of the traffic situation and the vehicle's surroundings at all times, otherwise accidents are still possible despite all warnings.

The displays and warnings of the system do not relieve the driver of the responsibility to adapt his or her driving speed and style to the traffic conditions.
