tion of the driver. This is only possible if theve hi‐
cle is tr avelling on a mo torw ay or a high-speed
major road. If an obs tacle is de tected in front of
th eve hicle during the driving-off procedure, a
ta ke ove rwa rning is given. Acceleration is
re duced, the driver is given a visual and acoustic
wa rning and must stop theve hicle before reach‐

DI STRO NIC also has the Speed Limit Pilot func‐
tion. This function can be confi gured inthe mul‐
timedia sy stem. If a change in the speed limit is
de tected and Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC is acti va‐
te d, Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC assumes this new
speed.
The driven speed is adap ted when theve hicle is
le ve l with the tra ffic signs. In the case of signs
indicating entry into an urban area, the speed is
adap ted beforehand. The speed limit display in
