tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles in
front are de tected, the set dis tance is main‐
ta ined, if necessar y,until theve hicle comes to a
halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depend‐
ing on the dis tance totheve hicle in front and
th e set speed. The speed (in thera nge between
15 mp h (2 0 km/h) and 130mp h (2 10km/h))
and the dis tance totheve hicle in front are set
and sa ved on thesteering wheel. Other

Assi stDISTRONIC, it can au tomatically follow
th eve hicle in front driving off again within
30 seconds. If a critical situation is de tected
when driving off, a visual and acoustic warning is
given indicating that the driver must now take
control of theve hicle. The vehicle is not acceler‐
ated any fur ther. 16 6
Driving and pa rking

The driven speed is adjus
ted when theve hicle is
le ve l with the traf fic sign at the latest. In the
case of signs indicating entry into an urban area,
th e speed is adap ted beforehand. The speed
limit display in the Instrument Display is alw ays
updated when theve hicle is le vel with the tra ffic
sign.
If th ere is no speed restriction on an unlimi ted
st re tch of road (e.g. on a free way), there com‐
mended speed is adop ted as thestored speed.
The sy stem uses the speed stored on an unlimi‐
te dstre tch of road as there commended speed.
If yo u do not alter thestored speed on an unlimi‐
te dstre tch of road, there commended speed is
80 mph (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
to theve hicle in front, forve hicle speed and for
braking in good time. The maximum permissible
speed also depends on factors su chasthero ad
sur face and traf fic conditions. Sy
stem limitations
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 for a vehicle with a
trailer is not de tected bythe sy stem. In these sit‐
uations you must adjust your speed yourself. &

dynamic manner. When thero ute event has been
passed, theve hicle accelerates again tothe
st ored speed. The set dis tance totheve hicle in
