UML23 — Section: 7.3.12 Dependency (from Dependencies)

Explanation to Figure 7.38 - An example of an instantiate dependency - states: "In the example below, the Car class has a dependency on the CarFactory class. In this case, the dependency is an instantiate dependency, where the Car class is an instance of the CarFactory class." (1) Logically and from the diagram itself, it should be opposite: CarFactory class has a dependency on the Car class. (2) Instantiate dependency does not mean that "Car class is an instance of the CarFactory class". That sentence most likely should read simply as "Car class is instantiated by the CarFactory class".
