distance from the vehicle in front that is

Travel Assist uses the same sensors as Adap-
tive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist.
Therefore, carefully read the information
about the ACC
›››
page 249 and the Lane
Assist
›››
page 257 and take into account the
limitations of the systems and the indications
given in the information.
Speed range
Travel Assist adjusts at speeds between ap-
prox. 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph) and approx.
210 km/h (approx. 130 mph); in the case of
the adaptive lane guidance function, be-
tween 0 km/h (0 mph) and approx. 250 km/h
(approx. 155 mph).
Driving with Travel Assist
Travel Assist automatically controls the ac-
celerator pedal, the brakes and the steering.
In addition, Travel Assist may, within its limita-
tions, decelerate the vehicle until it stops be-
hind another that stops and automatically
starts again.
You can override assisted adjustment at all
times.

Driver intervention prompt
If you remove your hands from the steering
wheel, after a few seconds the system asks
you to take over the steering with an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
WARNING
The Travel Assist smart technology cannot
o
vercome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and it only works within the limits of
the system. If Travel assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Bear in mind the system limitations and
the indications regarding the control of the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane
Assist.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Do not use Travel Assist when visibility is
bad, on steep roads, on windy roads or in
slippery circumstances (such as snow, ice,
rain or loose gravel), or on flooded roads.
●
Do not use T
ravel Assist offroad or on
roads where the surface is not firm. Travel
Assist has been designed for use on paved
roads only.
●
Travel Assist does not react to people or
animal or vehicles crossing your path or
which approach you head-on in the same
lane.
●
Brake immediately if Travel Assist does
not slow down enough.
●
Brake immediately when a braking mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel
screen.
●
Brake when, after an indication to brake,
the vehicle rolls without it being desired.
●
Keep your hands on the steering wheel at
all times, to ensure you have control over
the steering at all times. The driver is al-
ways responsible for keeping the vehicle in
its own lane.
●
If possible, do not wear gloves while driv-
ing. The system could interpret this as no
driving activity.
●
If driver intervention is requested on the
instrument panel display, immediately re-
sume control of the vehicle.
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself.
