Mercedes-Benz GLC : Driving and parking / Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
which assist you in driving, parking and maneuvering
the vehicle. The driving systems are only
aids. They are not a substitute for your attention
to the surroundings and do not relieve you of
your responsibility pertaining to road traffic law.
The driver is always responsible for maintaining
a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
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.
Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always
take into account road, weather or traffic conditions.

minimized during extended periods of non-operation...
Some driving and driving safety systems use
cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to
the vehicle...
Other information:

the driving characteristics as well as steering and braking
characteristics may be severely impaired
Observe the recommended
tire pressures
