Risk of accident
The vehicle can be braked when Distronic Plus
is activated. For this reason, deactivate Dis-
tronic Plus if the vehicle is to be set in motion
by other means (e.g. in a car wash or by tow-
ing). You can activate Distronic Plus in the follow-
ing circumstances:
R
about two minutes after the engine is star-
ted
R when the engine is running
R if you do not brake during the journey

Activating while driving
When driving at speeds below 30 km/h, you
can only activate Distronic Plus if the vehicle
in front has been detected and is shown in the
multi-function display. If the vehicle in front is
not shown in the multi-function display and is
no longer being detected, because it has
changed lanes, for example, Distronic Plus is
deactivated and you hear a warning tone.
X Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards
you ?or press it up :or down Ato the

pedal.
Your vehicle adapts its speed to that of the
vehicle in front, but only up to the stored
speed.
i If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the DISTRONIC PLUS suspended
message appears in the multi-function dis-
play. Then, the distance to a slower-moving
vehicle in front will not be governed. You
will be driving at the speed you determine
by the position of the accelerator pedal. Driving systems

160 km/h (e.g. for driving with winter tyres)
and the maximum speed.
Just before the stored speed is reached, it
appears in the multi-function display.
Permanent Speedtronic remains active, even

You must deactivate the radar sensor sys-
tem in certain countries and near radio
telescope facilities. Further information
can be found in the index under "Radar
sensor system".
Vehicles with COMAND and navigation sys-
tem*: the radar sensor system is automati-
cally deactivated near radio telescope facili-
ties (Y page 411).
If you want Park Assist to assist you, the radar
sensor system must be activated and opera-
tional.
Park Assist is an electronic parking aid with
radar sensors. It assists you when parking by
displaying the distance between your vehicle
and an obstacle, and by emitting a warning
tone when you approach an obstacle.
Park Assist is automatically activated when
you shift the automatic transmission to D,R
or Nwhile the engine is running.
Park Assist is deactivated at speeds above
18 km/h. It is reactivated at lower speeds.
Park Assist is also deactivated when you shift
the automatic transmission to Por switch off
the engine.
Park Assist is deactivated when the transmis-
sion is in position Nif you use the electric
parking brake to secure the vehicle.
Park Assist monitors the area around your
vehicle using four sensors in the front bumper
and two sensors in the rear bumper.
Range of the sensors Side view Top view
i
As the sensors have a wide detection
range, Park Assist may detect and warn you
about the following obstacles:
R Obstacles on the ground, such as man-
hole covers, rails, holes in the road or
drains
R Obstacles that move upwards quickly,
such as roller doors
Front sensors Display range
Centre Approximately 100 cm
Corners Approximately 60 cm

!
Pay particular attention to objects above
or below the sensors when parking, such
as low walls around flower beds, high cross-
bars or trailer towbars. Park Assist does not
detect such objects when they are in the
immediate vicinity of the vehicle. You could
damage the vehicle or the objects.
i The Park Assist sensors are built into the
front and rear bumpers. Make sure that the
bumpers are free from dirt, ice or slush in 252
