Function of Drive Awayy Assist
Drive Away Assist can reduce the severity of an
impact when pulling away. If an obstacle is detec-
ted in the direction of travel, the vehicle's speed
is brieꢀy reduced to approx. 1 mph (2 km/h). If a
critical situation is detected, the É symbol

resuming a paused parking procedure. Make sure
that persons, animals or objects are no longer in
the maneuvering range. Also observe the system
