The intelligent technology of the pull-away assist systems cannot overcome the laws of physics. Never allow the extra convenience afforded by pull-away assist systems to tempt you into taking any risks when driving – this can cause accidents.
  • Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
  • The pull-away assist systems cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.
  • Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
  • A pull-away assist system cannot hold the vehicle in all hill start situations or brake it sufficiently on all slopes going downhill (e.g. if the ground is slippery or icy).
