2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC turn signal

If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC detects afaster-moving vehicle in front, it increases thedriving speed to the set speed.
Selecting the drive program
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC supports asporty driving style when you have selected theSorS+, drive program (Ypage 145). Accelera-tion behind the vehicle in front or to the setspeed is then noticeably more dynamic. If youhave selected theCorEdriving program, thevehicle accelerates more gently. This setting isrecommended in stop-and-start traffic.
Changing lanes
If you change to the overtaking lane Active Dis-tance Assist DISTRONIC supports you if:
Ryou are driving faster than 45 mph (70 km/h)
Ryou switch on the appropriate turn signal
RActive Distance Assist DISTRONIC does notcurrently detect a danger of collision
If these conditions are fulfilled, your vehicle isaccelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted ifchanging lanes takes too long or if the distancebetween your vehicle and the vehicle in frontbecomes too small.
When you change lanes, Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC monitors the left lane on left-hand-drive vehicles or the right lane on right-hand-drive vehicles.
Stopping
GWARNING
If you leave the driver's seat when the vehicle
is only being braked by Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC, it could roll away:
Rif there is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply
Rif Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is
deactivated using the cruise control lever,
for example by a vehicle occupant or from
outside the vehicle
Rif the electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses are tam-
pered with
Rif the battery is disconnected
Rif the vehicle is accelerated, e.g. by a vehi-
cle occupant
There is a risk of an accident.
Always deactivate Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC and secure the vehicle against
rolling away before you leave it.
Further information on deactivating Active Dis-tance Assist DISTRONIC (Ypage 167).
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC detectsthat the vehicle in front is stopping, it brakesyour vehicle until it is stationary.
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains sta-tionary and you do not need to depress thebrake.
After a time, the electric parking brake securesthe vehicle and relieves the service brake.
Depending on the specified minimum distance,your vehicle will come to a standstill at a suffi-cient distance behind the vehicle in front. Thespecified minimum distance is set using thecontrol on the cruise control lever.
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is acti-vated, the transmission is shifted automaticallyto position]if:
Rthe driver's seat belt is not fastened and thedriver's door is open
Rthe engine is switched off, unless it is auto-matically switched off by the ECO start/stopfunction
The electric parking brake is applied automati-cally if Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC isactive when the vehicle is stationary and:
Ra system malfunction occurs
Rthe power supply is insufficient
If a malfunction occurs, the transmission mayalso be shifted to position]automatically.

Active Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Active Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas oneither side of the vehicle that are not visible tothe driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-sors. A warning lamp lights up in the exteriormirrors and draws your attention to vehicles
detected in the monitored area. If you thenswitch on the corresponding turn signal tochange lanes, you will also receive a visual warn-ing and hear a warning tone. If a risk of lateralcollision is detected, corrective braking mayhelp you avoid a collision. Before a course-cor-recting brake application, Active Blind SpotAssist evaluates the space in the direction oftravel and at the sides of the vehicle. For this,Active Blind Spot Assist uses the forward-facingradar sensors.
Active Blind Spot Assist supports you from aspeed of approximately 20 mph(30 km/h).

Collision warning from visual warning and
warning tone
If you switch on the turn signal to change lanesand a vehicle is detected in the side monitoringrange, you receive a visual warning and a warn-ing tone as a collision warning. You will thenhear a double warning tone and red warninglampCflashes. If the turn signal remains on,detected vehicles are indicated by the flashingof red warning lampC. No further warning tonesounds.
Course-correcting brake application
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a lat-eral collision in the monitoring range, a course-correcting brake application is carried out. Thisis meant to assist you in avoiding a collision.
GWARNING
A course-correcting brake application cannot
always prevent a collision. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns
you or makes a course-correcting brake appli-
cation. Always maintain a safe distance at the
sides.
If a course-correcting brake application occurs,red warning lampCflashes in the exterior mir-ror and a double warning tone sounds. In addi-tion, a display underlining the danger of a sidecollision appears in the multifunction display.
In very rare cases, the system may make aninappropriate brake application. A course-cor-recting brake application may be interrupted atany time by countersteering slightly or acceler-ating.
The course-correcting brake application is avail-able in the speed range between 20 mph(30 km/h) and 120 mph (200 km/h).
Either no braking application, or a course-cor-recting brake application adapted to the drivingsituation occurs if:
Rthere are vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crashbarriers, located on both sides of your vehicle.

Lane-correcting brake application
If you leave your lane, under certain circumstan-ces the vehicle will brake briefly on one side.This is meant to assist you in bringing the vehicleback to the original lane.
GWARNING
A lane-correcting brake application cannot
always bring the vehicle back into the original
lane. There is a risk of an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Lane Keeping Assist warns
you or makes a lane-correcting brake appli-
cation.
If a lane-correcting brake application occurs,displayCappears in the multifunction display.The brake application also slightly reduces vehi-cle speed.
A lane-correcting brake application can be madeafter driving over a lane marking recognized asbeing solid or broken. Before this, a warningmust be given by means of intermittent vibrationin the steering wheel. In addition, a lane withlane markings on both sides must have beendetected.
In the case of a broken lane marking beingdetected, a lane-correcting brake applicationcan only be made if a vehicle has been detectedin the adjacent lane. Oncoming vehicles, over-taking vehicles and vehicles in adjacent lanescan be detected.
A further lane-correcting brake application canonly occur after your vehicle has returned to theoriginal lane.
No lane-correcting brake application occurs if:
