Road and traffic conditions
i
The following function is only available in
vehicles with the Driving Assistance Plus
package.
The function is not operational in all coun-
tries.
DISTRONIC PLUS uses additional information
from your navigation system so that it can
adapt to certain traffic situations. This is the
case if, while following a vehicle, DISTRONIC
PLUS is active and you:
R approach or drive around a roundabout
R approach a T-junction
R turn off at a motorway exit
Even if the vehicle in front leaves the detec-
tion range, DISTRONIC PLUS temporarily
maintains the current driving speed and does not accelerate. This is based on the current
map data in the navigation system.
Afterwards, the vehicle accelerates back to
the speed you set.
The system takes into account the fact that
overtaking on the right is not permitted on
motorways or high-speed major roads at
speeds above 80 km/h. The driving speed is
adjusted to the speed of the queue of vehicles
in the adjacent lane to the left.
i Prevention of overtaking on the right
applies to countries where traffic drives on
the right. In countries where traffic drives
on the left, overtaking on the left is preven-
ted accordingly. Stopping G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, even if it is braked
only by DISTRONIC PLUS, it could roll away if:
R there is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
R DISTRONIC PLUS has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e.g. by a vehi-
cle occupant or from outside the vehicle.
R the electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses have
been tampered with.
R the battery is disconnected.
R the accelerator pedal has been depressed,
e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
There is a risk of an accident.
If you wish to exit the vehicle, always turn off
DISTRONIC PLUS and secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
For further information on deactivating
DISTRONIC PLUS (Y page 228).
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle in front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it is stationary.
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress the
brake.
After a short period, the vehicle is secured by
the electric parking brake, thus relieving the
service brake.
Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever.
The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if DISTRONIC PLUS is activated
and:
R the seat belt is unfastened and the driver's
door is open
R the engine is switched off, unless it is auto-
matically switched off by the ECO start/
stop function 226

appears. The bar display then changes the
display, e.g. if you are driving at a speed
below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h.
Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 309).
The system determines the attention level
of the driver depending on the setting
selected:
Selection Standard Standard: the sensitivity with
which the system determines the attention
level is set to normal.
Selection Sensitive Sensitive: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by Atten- tion Assist is adapted accordingly and the
driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the é symbol appears in the multifunction
display in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactiva-
ted, it is automatically reactivated after the
engine has been stopped. The sensitivity
selected corresponds to the last selection
activated (standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentra-
tion are detected, a warning appears in the
multifunction display: ATTENTION ASSIST ATTENTION ASSIST
Take a break!
Take a break! .
In addition to the message shown in the mul-
tifunction display, you will then hear a warn-
ing tone.
X If necessary, take a break.
X Confirm the message by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks in good
time to allow yourself to rest properly. If you do not take a break and ATTENTION ASSIST
still detects increasing lapses in concentra-
tion, you will be warned again after
15 minutes at the earliest. This will only hap-
pen if ATTENTION ASSIST still detects typical indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction dis-
play, a service station search is performed in
COMAND. You can select a service station
and navigation to this service station will then
begin. This function can be activated and
deactivated in COMAND. Traffic Sign Assist
General notes Traffic Sign Assist displays the maximum
speed permitted and overtaking restrictions
to the driver in the instrument cluster. Driving onto a section of road in the wrong direction
triggers a warning. Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with camera system :attached
behind the top of the windscreen. The data
and general traffic regulations stored in the
navigation system are also used to determine
the current speed limit.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle is passed, the display of the speed limits and
overtaking restrictions is updated. 256

The display can also be updated without a
visible traffic sign if:
R the vehicle changes roads (e.g. motorway
exit or slip road)
R a village or town boundary is passed which
is stored in the digital map
R the last traffic sign detected by the camera
has not been repeated
If a sign indicating the end of a restriction
(speed limit or overtaking restriction) is
passed, the sign is displayed for five seconds.
The applicable traffic regulation then appears in the instrument cluster.
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign
(e.g. in wet conditions).
The traffic signs are only displayed with the
restrictions if:
R the regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
R Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies
If Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine a
maximum permitted speed from any of the
available sources, no speed limit is displayed
in the instrument cluster either. Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun-
tries. In this case, display :is shown in the
speedometer.
Important safety notes Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not
always able to correctly display speed limits
and overtaking restrictions. Traffic signs always have priority over the Traffic Sign
Assist display.
The system may be either functionally
impaired or temporarily unavailable if:
R visibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog
or spray
R there is glare, e.g. from the sun being low in
the sky
R there is dirt, ice or misting on the wind-
screen in the vicinity of the camera
R traffic signs are hard to detect (dirt, ice,
snow)
R the traffic signs are insufficiently lit at night
R signs are ambiguous (e.g. traffic signs on
construction sites or in adjacent lanes)
R the information in the digital street map of
the navigation system is incorrect or out of
date
Activating Traffic Sign Assist X
Activate the Traffic Sign Assist display
using the on-board computer
(Y page 308).
If you have activated the display of Traffic
Sign Assist in the on-board computer, the
traffic regulations (speed limits and overtak-
ing restrictions) are displayed in the instru-
ment cluster. The wrong-way warning
remains active even when the display has
been deactivated.
