& WARNING Risk of accident due to vehi‐
cle swinging out while parking or pulling
out of a parking space
While parking or exiting a parking space, the
vehicle swings out and can drive onto areas
of the oncoming lane.
This could cause you to collide with objects
or other road users.
Pay attention to objects and other road
#
users.
Where necessary, stop the vehicle or
#
cancel the parking procedure with
Active Parking Assist.
If, for example, the

message appears in the multimedia sys‐
tem display: select the corresponding trans‐
mission position.
The vehicle moves out of the parking space.

After the exiting procedure has been completed,
the

in the multimedia system prompt you to take
over control of the vehicle. You have to acceler‐
ate, brake, steer and change gear yourself again.
Function of Drive Away Assist
Drive Away Assist can reduce the severity of an
impact when pulling away. If an obstacle is
detected in the direction of travel, the vehicle's
speed is briefly reduced to approx. 1 mph
(2 km/h). If a critical situation is detected, the
È symbol appears on the camera image of
the multimedia system.
& WARNING Risk of accident caused by
limited detection performance of Drive
Away Assist
Drive Away Assist cannot always clearly iden‐
tify objects and traffic situations.
In such cases, Drive Away Assist might:
Warn you without reason and limit the
R
vehicle speed.
Not warn you or not limit the vehicle
R
speed.
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
#
fic situation; do not rely on Drive Away
Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve as nec‐
#
essary, provided the traffic situation
permits and that it is safe to take eva‐
sive action.
Drive Away Assist is only an aid. It is not a sub‐
stitute for your attention to the surroundings.
