Driving Assi stance Package. If a
change in the speed limit is de tected and
au tomatic adoption of speed limits is activated,
th e new speed is automatically adop ted as the
st ored speed (/ page 250).
The driven speed is adjus ted when theve hicle is

case of signs indicating entry into an urban area,
th e speed is adap ted according tothe speed

If th ere is no speed restriction on an unlimi ted
st re tch of road (e.g. on a mo torw ay),th ere com‐
mended speed is au tomatical lyadop ted as the
st ored speed. The sy stem uses the speed stored
on an unlimited stre tch of road as there com‐
mended speed. If you do not alter thestored
speed on an unlimited stre tch of road, there c‐
ommended speed is 130 km/h.
If Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC has been
put into passi vemode bypressing the accelera‐
to r pedal, only speed limits which are higher
th an the set speed are adop ted.
Ac tive Speed Limit Assi stis only an aid. The
driver is responsible forke eping a safe dis tance
from theve hicle in front, forve hicle speed and
fo r braking in good time. The maximum permissi‐
ble speed also depends on factors su chasthe
ro ad sur face and traf fic conditions.
Sy stem limits
Te mp orary speed restrictions (e.g. for a cer tain
time or due towe ather conditions) cannot be
proper ly detected bythe sy stem. The maximum permissible speed applying
toave hicle with a
trailer is not de tected bythe sy stem. In these sit‐
uations you must adjust your speed yourself. &

nction of route-based speed adaptation %
The following function is countr y-dependent
and only available in conjunction with the
Driving Assi stance Package. When
Active Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is acti‐
va ted, theve hicle speed will be adjus ted accord‐
ingly tothero ute events ahead. Depending on
th e drive prog ram selected, theve hicle negoti‐
ates a route event ahead in an ene rgy-saving,
comfor table or dynamic manner. When thero ute
eve nt has been passed, theve hicle accelerates
again tothestored speed. The set dis tance to
th eve hicle in front, vehicles de tected ahead and
speed restrictions ahead are take n into account.
Ro ute-based speed adjustment can be config‐
ured in the multimedia sy stem (/ page218).
The following route events are take n into
account:
R Bends
R T-junctions, roundabouts and tollst ations
R Turns and exits
R Traf fic jams ahead (only wi thLive Traf fic

Also,
the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi‐
cator tochange lanes is swit ched on and one of
th efo llowing situations is de tected:
R Turning off at junctions
R Driving on slowing-down lanes
R Driving on lanes adjacent toslowing-down
lanes
The driver is responsible forch oosing theright
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular tojunctions, roundabouts
and traf fic lights, as route-based speed adap ta‐
tion does not brake theve hicle toast andstill.
When route guidance is active, thefirs t speed

turn signal indica tor is switched on, the selected
ro ute is confirmed and fur ther speed adjustment
is activated.
Speed adjustment is cancelled in thefo llowing
cases:

before thero ute event.
R Ifth e driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process. Sy

Ro ute-based speed adap tation does not take
ri ght of wayre gulations into account. The driver
is responsible for complying with road traf fic
re gulations and driving at a suitable speed.
In dif ficult conditions (e.g. unclear roads, lane
nar rowing, wetro ad sur faces, snow or ice) or
when driving wi tha trailer, the speed adjustment
made bythe sy stem may not alw ays be suitable.
In these situations the driver must inter vene

Fu nction of Active Lane Change Assi st
% The following function is countr y-dependent
and only available in conjunction with the
Driving Assi stance Package.
Ac tive Lane Change Assi stsupports the driver
when changing lanes byapplying steering torque
if th e driver operates a turn signal indicator.
Assis tance when changing lanes is pr ovided if all
th efo llowing conditions are me t:
R You are driving on a mo torw ay orroad with
multiple lanes in the direction of tr avel.
R The neighbouring lane is separated bya bro‐
ke n lane ma rking.
R Novehicle is de tected in the adjacent lane. R
The driven speed is between 80 km/h and
180 km/h.
R Active Lane Change Assi stis switched on in
th e multimedia sy stem.
R Active Steering Assist is switched on and
active. If no
vehicle is de tected in the adjacent lane and
a lane change is permit ted, the lane change
begins af terth e driver has activated the turn sig‐
nal indicator. This is shown tothe driver with a
green ar row 2 next tothesteering wheel sym‐
bol. The Lane change to the left message also
appears, forex ample. If Active Lane Change
Assi sthas been activated with the turn signal indicator but a lane
change is not immediately
possible, a gr eyarrow 1appears next tothe
st eering wheel symbol, which remains green.
When the lane change assis tance starts, the turn
signal indicator is automatically activated along
with the display in the multifunction displa y.
If th e assis tance graphic is shown when chang‐
ing lanes, the lane change display appears with
an additional ar rowpointing towa rdsth e adja‐
cent lane (/ page 223).
If a lane change is not possible, the ar row fades
out af ter a few seconds and a new lane change
must be initiated. An immediate lane change is
on lypossible on mo torw ay sections without
speed limits.
If th e sy stem is impaired, Active Lane Change
Assi stmay be cancelled. If it is cancelled, the
Lane change cancelled message appears inthe
multifunction display and a warning tone sounds. &
