Function of Drive Away Assist

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
É symbol appears in the media display.
& 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.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
maneuvering range.

uations, for example:
