R vehicles which are not driving in the middle
of their lane
R other vehicles changin glane
R narrow vehicles
R obstructions and stationary vehicles
R crossin gvehicles

Cornering, entering and exiting abend The ability of DISTRONIC PLUS to detect vehi-
cles when cornering is limited. Your vehicle
may brake unexpectedly or late.

lane. The distanc
etothe vehicle in front will
be too short.
Other vehicles changing lane DISTRONIC PLUS has not detected the vehi-
cle cuttin ginyet. The distanc etothis vehicle
will be too short.
Narrow vehicles DISTRONIC PLUS has not yet detected the
vehicle in front on the edge of the carriageway
because of its narrow width .The distanc eto
the vehicle in front will be too short.
Obstructions and stationary vehicles DISTRONIC PLUS does not brak
efor obsta-
cles or stationary vehicles. If, for example, the
detected vehicle turns acorner and reveals
an obstacle or stationary vehicle, DISTRONIC PLUS will not brak efor these.
Crossin gvehicles DISTRONIC PLUS may mistakenly detect
vehicles that are crossin
gyour lane. Activat-
ing DISTRONIC PLUS at traffic light swith
crossin gtraffic ,for example, could cause
your vehicle to pull away unintentionally.
