Drive Away Assist cannot always clearly iden‐
tify objects and traffic situations.
In such cases, Drive Away Assist might:
R

vehicle speed.

fic situation; do not rely on Drive Away

essary, provided the traffic situation
permits and that it is safe to take eva‐
sive action.

stitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no

uations, for example:
