If th eve hicle should ne verex ceed a speci/c
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
Yo u do this by limiting the speed between
160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys-
te m (/ page 228).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the Instrument Displa y.When you con-
/rm the message, display messages no longer
appear until you switch o. theve hicle. The speed
will only be displ ayed again once theve hicle has
been restar ted or if the set speed is changed.
The permanent limi ter does not switch topassive
mode even during kickdown and the driven speed
re mains below the set speed. Se

Ac tive Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-0owing roads. If vehicles in
front are de tected, the set distance is maintained,
if necessar y,until theve hicle comes toa halt. The
ve hicle accelerates or brakes depending on the
distance totheve hicle in front and the set speed.
The speed and distance totheve hicle in front are
set and sa ved using the steering wheel.

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-

% When theto ll station is reached, Active Dis-

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.
Speed adap tation is cancelled in thefo llowing
cases:
R Ifth e turn signal indicator is switched o.
before thero ute event.
R Ifth e driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.

ARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react tovehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
di.erent speed.
Blind Spot Assist cannot warndrivers in this
situation. #
Always pay careful attention tothe tra1c
situation and maintain a safe distance at
th e side of theve hicle. Obser

re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recognise
dangers (/ page 216).

wheel and guided bya course-co rrecting brake
application back into your lane.
Ac tive Lane Keeping Assist is available in the
speed range between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.
Ac tive Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the
ri sk of an accident if youfa ilto adapt your driving
style nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot
ta ke into account road, weather or tra1c condi-
tions. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid.
Yo u are responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
ta nce totheve hicle in front, forve hicle speed, for
braking in good time and for st aying in lane.
The status of Active Lane Keeping Assist is dis-
pla yed in the on-board computer:
R 00B0 (gre en): Active Lane Keeping Assist is
active and operating.
R 00B0 (gre y): Active Lane Keeping Assist is
active but not operating.
R ·: Active Lane Keeping Assist is deactiva-
te d or there is a malfunction. If a lane-cor
recting brake application occurs, dis-
play 1appears in the Instrument Displa y.
The system does not app lythe brake if you acti-
