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. 2 km/h. If a
critical situation is detected, a 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:
R
Warn you without reason and limit the
vehicle speed.
R
Not warn you or not limit the vehicle
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 manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
A risk of a collision may arise in the following sit‐
uations, for example:
R
If the driver mixes up the accelerator and
brake pedals.
R
If the wrong gear is selected.
The Drive Away Assist function is active under
the following conditions:
R
If Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is activated.
R
Every time the gear is changed to k or h
when the vehicle is at a standstill.
R
If the detected obstacle is less than approx.
1.0 m away.
R
If the manoeuvring assistance function is
activated in the multimedia system.
System limitations

when driving with a trailer.
Function of Cross Traffic Alert
% Also read the instructions on Blind Spot
Assist (
→
page 248).
Vehicles with Blind Spot Assist: drivers can
also be warned of any crossing traffic when
reversing out of a parking space. If a critical sit‐
uation is detected, a warning symbol appears on
the camera image of the multimedia system. If
the driver does not respond to the warning, the
vehicle's brakes can be applied automatically. To
do this, the function uses the radar sensors in
the bumper. The area adjacent to the vehicle is
continually monitored.
