The system limits of Tra1c Sign Assist apply to
th e de tection of tra1c signs (/ page 257).
Speed limits below 20 km/h are not automatical ly
adop tedby the system as the stored speed. Tem-
porary speed restrictions (e.g. for a cer tain time
or due towe ather conditions) cann otbe proper ly

individual cases, such as:
R at speed limits below 20 km/h

When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is acti va-
te d, theve hicle speed will be adap ted accordingly
to thero ute events ahead. Depending on the drive
prog ram selected, theve hicle neg otiates a route
ev ent ahead in an economical, comfor table or
dynamic manner. When thero ute event has been
passed, theve hicle accelerates again tothe
stored speed. The set distance totheve hicle in
front, vehicles de tected ahead and speed restric-
tions ahead are take n into account.
Yo u can activate and deactivate route-based
speed adap tation in the multimedia system
(/ page 248).
The following route events are take n into account:
R Bends
R T-junctions, roundabouts and toll stations
R Turns and exits R
Tra1c jams ahead (only with Live Tra1c Infor-
mation )
% When theto ll station is reached, Active Dis-
ta nce Assist DISTRONIC ado ptsth e speed as
th e stored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi-
cator tochange lanes is switched on and one of
th efo llowing situations is de tected:
R Turning o. 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
tra1c lights, as route-based speed adap tation
does not brake theve hicle toa standstill.
When route guidance is active, the /rst speed
adjustment is car ried out automaticall y.Ifth e turn
signal indicator is switched on, the selected route
is con/rmed and fur ther speed adjustment is acti-
va ted. Driving and parking

R Ifth e driver depresses the accelerator or

Ro ute-based speed adap tation does not take right

not alw ays be suitable, particular lyin thefo llowing
situations:
R thero ad's course not clear lyvisible

Jam Assist
Ac tive Tra1c Jam Assist helps you when in tra1c
jams on multi-lane roads with separate car riage-
wa ys by automatically pulling away within 60 sec-
onds and with mode rate stee ring manoeuvres. It
orients itself using theve hicle in front and lane
markings. Active Tra1c Jam Assist automatically
main tains a safe distance from theve hicle in front
and vehicles cutting in.
Ac tive Tra1c Jam Assist requ ires you, as the
driver, tokeep your hands on the steering wheel
at all times so that you are able tointer vene at
any time tocor rect the course of theve hicle and
