Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles ahead
are de tected, the set dis tance is maintained, if
necessa ryuntil theve hicle comes toa halt. The
ve hicle accelerates or brakes depending on the
dis tance totheve hicle in front and the set speed.
Speed and dis tance are set and stored on the
st eering wheel. The speed can be set in thera nge
between 15mp h (20 km/h) and 99 mph
(160 km/h) or between 15mp h (20 km/h) and
th eve hicle's maximum speed.

Sy
stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing ins tances:
R The radar sensors are af fected bysno w,rain,
fo g, heavy spr ay,gl are, direct sunlight or
greatly varying ambient light.
R The radar sensors may malfunction in parking
ga rage s or on roads with steep uphill or
downhill gradients.
R Ifth era dar sensors are dirty or co vered.
R On icy or slippery roads, braking or accelerat‐
ing can cause the drive wheels tolose trac‐
tion and theve hicle could then skid.
R Stationary objects are not de tected if these
we renot pr eviously de tected as moving.
R On bends, target vehicles may be lost or not
re cognized cor rectl y.As a result, a target
ve hicle is not used toregulate the speed
which may lead tounwa nted accele ration.
