Fu nctions of ABS (anti-lock braking sy stem)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
RDuring braking, the wheels are pr evented
from blocking, e.g. due tomaximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient traction of the tires.
RVe hicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, youwill feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving.
Sy stem limitations
RABS is active from speeds of appr ox. 5 mph
(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occur red and theye l‐

RESP®Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle
speeds between 50 mph (80 km/h) and

Speed control cruise control
Function of cruise control
Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hi‐
cle automatically in order tomaintain a pr evi‐
ously stored speed.
If yo u accelerate toove rtake, forex ample, the
st ored speed is not dele ted. If youre mo veyour
fo ot from the accelerator pedal af terove rtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to thestored speed.
Yo u can operate cruise cont rol with the cruise
control le ver.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident
nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take
into account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible fo
rth e dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hi‐
cle speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ‐
ing in lane.
Sy stem limitations
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lo werge ar in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular
no te ofthis when driving a laden vehicle. By
doing so, youwill make use of the braking ef fect
of the engine. This relie vesth e load on the brake
sy stem and pr events the brakes from overheat‐
ing and
wearin
g tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
RIn traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads
ROn slippery roads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid
RWhen visibility is poor

Fu nction of Distance Pilot DISTRONIC
Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC:
RMaintains the set speed and accelerates or
decelerates theve hicle if the dis tance from
th eve hicle in front permits.
RAssists youin main taining the dis tance from
th eve hicle in front and can bring your vehi‐
cle toast andstill if necessar y.
RBrakesyour vehicle with up to50 % of the
maximum possible braking po wer.If greater
decelera tion performance is requ ired, a vis‐
ual and acoustic warning is given and you
must then inter vene yourself.
RVe hicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age, Parking Pilot and COMAND: When
driving in stop-s tart traf fic, the driver is sup‐
por tedby an extended, au tomatic restart in
traf fic jams.
RVe hicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: Responds in urban speed ranges tosta‐
tionary vehicles (e xcept bicycles, mo torcy‐

cient toenable de tection.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, Dis tance
Pilot DISTRONIC can nei ther reduce therisk of
an accident nor override the la wsof ph ysics.
Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. Dis‐
ta nce Pilot DISTRONIC is only an aid. You are
re sponsible forth e dis tance totheve hicle in

and forst ay ing in lane. If all activation conditions are met,
you can acti‐
va te Dis tan ce Pil otDISTRONIC du ring a journ ey
or while stationar y.When Dis tance Pilot
DISTRONIC is acti vated, a speed is stored which
th e driver can increase or reduce at any time.
The speed can be adjus ted between 15mp h
(20 km/h) and 120mp h(2 00 km/h).
Ve hicles with the Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: The speed can be adju sted between
15 mp h (20 km/h) and 130mp h (2 10km/h).
Ve hicles with Driving Assistance Package,
Park ing Pilot and COMAND: Upto30 seconds
af te rst opping, theve hicle automatically follo ws
th eve hicle ahead without the inter vention of the
driver. This is only possible if theve hicle is tr av‐
eling on a free wayor ahigh-speed majo rro ad. If
an obstacle is de tected in front of theve hicle
during the driving-off procedure, a take ove r
wa rning is given. Acceleration is reduced, the
driver is given a visual and acoustic warning and
must stop theve hicle before reaching the obs ta‐
cle or take eva sive action.

DI ST RO 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
