Mercedes-Benz GLC : Driving and driving safety systems / Maneuvering assistance
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
symbol appears in the media
display.
You can cancel an intervention by Drive
Away Assist at any time by deactivating
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC.
WARNING Risk of accident caused by
limited detection performance of Drive
Away Assist
Drive Away Assist cannot always clearly identify
objects and traffic situations.
Always pay careful attention to
the traffic
situation; do not rely on Drive Away
Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve
as necessary,
provided the traffic situation
permits and that it is safe to take evasive
action.
Drive Away Assist is only an aid. It is not a substitute
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.
A risk of a collision may arise in the following situations,
for example:
- If the accelerator and brake pedals are interchanged.
- If an incorrect transmission position is
engaged.
Drive Away Assist is active under the following
conditions:
- If Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is activated.
- If you shift the transmission position to
or
when the vehicle is stationary.
- If the detected obstacle is less than approx.
3.3 ft (1.0 m) away.
- If the maneuvering assistance function is
activated in the multimedia system.
