DANG ER Risk of death when charging at
a damaged soc ket
The charging process uses high voltage.
If th ech arging cable, theve hicle soc ket or
th e mains soc ket are dama ged, you could
re cei vean electric shoc k. #
Only use an undamaged charging cable. #
Avoid mechanical damage such as
crushing, abrading or driving over the
cable. #
Have a damaged vehicle soc ket
re placed at a qualified specialist work‐
shop as soon as possible. #
Never connect thech arging cable to a
damaged vehicle soc ket. *

TEProtecting theve hicle from voltage
sur ges in the mains supply The
vehicle is equipped with an electrical
fuse forvo ltage sur ges in the mains suppl y.
This electrical fuse may be blown during
se vere thunder storms, forex ample, and may
cause the building's circuit breaker totrip
and thech arging process tobe inter rupted.
These functions help toprotect theve hicle.
Af terth e building pr otection sy stem has
been switched on again, thech arging proc‐
ess resumes automatically.
Fo llowing an inter ruption in the po wer supp ly
in which the building's circuit breaker is not
tripped, it may take up to te n minu tesfo rthe

stems and your responsibility Yo
ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐
vring theve hicle. The driving sy stems are only
aids. They are not a substitute foryo ur attention
to the sur roundings and do not relie ve you of
yo ur responsibility per taining toroad traf fic la w.
The driver is alw aysre sponsible for maintaining
a safe dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hicle
speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ing
in lane. Pay attention tothe traf fic conditions at
all times and inter vene when necessa ry. Be
aw are of the limitations rega rding the safe use of
th ese sy stems.
Driving sy stems can neither reduce therisk of
accident if youfa ilto adapt your driving style nor
ov erride the la wsof ph ysics. They cannot alw ays
ta ke into account road, weather or traf fic condi‐
tions. In
fo rm ation on vehicle sensors and cameras Some driving and driving saf

cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to

Fu nction of Active Speed Limit Assi st
If a change in the speed limit of 20 km/h or
more is de tected and au tomatic adoption of
speed limits is activated, the new speed limit is
automatically adop ted as thestored speed
(/ page 217).
The driven speed is adju sted 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 according tothe speed
permitted within the urban area. The speed limit display in
the Instrument Display is alw ays upda‐
te d 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 mo torw ay),th ere com‐
mended speed is au tomatical lyadop ted as the
st ored speed. The sy stem uses the speed stored
on an unlimited stre tch of road as there com‐
mended speed. If you do not alter thestored
speed on an unlimited stre tch of road, there c‐
ommended speed is 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.
Obser vethe no tes on driving sy stems and your
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recog‐
nise dangers (/ page 187).
Sy stem limits

th e de tection of traf fic signs (/ page 215).
Speed limits bel ow20 km/h are not auto mati‐
cally adop tedby the sy stem as thestored speed.
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 toave hicle with a
trailer is not de tected bythe sy stem.

The speed adop tedby Active Speed Limit
Assi stmay be too high or incor rect in some
individual cases, su chas:
R at speed limits below 20 km/h

nction of route-based speed adaptation
When Active Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is acti‐
va ted, theve hicle speed will be adap ted accord‐
ingly tothero ute events ahead. Depending on 204
Driving and parking

th
e drive prog ram selected, theve hicle negoti‐
ates a route event ahead in an economical, com‐
fo rtable or dynamic manner. When thero ute
eve nt has been passed, theve hicle accelerates
again tothestored speed. The set dis tance to
th eve hicle in front, vehicles de tected ahead and
speed restrictions ahead are take n into account.
Yo u can activate and deactivate route-based
speed adap tation in the multimedia sy stem
(/ page 206).
The following route events are take n into
account:
R Bends
R T-junctions, roundabouts and tollst ations
R Turns and exits
R Traf fic jams ahead (only wi thLive Traf fic
Information )
% When theto llst ation is reached, Active Dis‐
ta nce Assi stDISTRONIC adopts the speed as
th estored speed. Also,
the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi‐
cator tochange lanes is swit ched on and one of
th efo llowing situations is de tected:
R Turning off 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 traf fic lights, as route-based speed adap ta‐
tion does not brake theve hicle toast andstill.
When route guidance is active, thefirs t speed
adjustment is car ried out automaticall y.Ifthe
turn signal indica tor is switched on, the selected
ro ute is confirmed and fur ther speed adjustment
is activated.
Speed adap tation is cancelled in thefo llowing
cases:
R Ifth e turn signal indicator is switched off
before thero ute event.
R Ifth e driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process. Sy
stem limits
Ro ute-based speed adap tation does not take
ri ght of wayre gulations into account. The driver
is responsible for complying with road traf fic
re gulations and driving at a suitable speed.
The speed adap tation made bythe sy stem may
not alw ays be suitable, particular lyin thefo llow‐
ing situations:
R thero ad's course not clear lyvisible
R road nar rowing
R varying maximum permissible speeds in indi‐
vidual lanes, forex ample at tollst ations
R wetro ad sur faces, snow or ice
R when towing a trailer
In these situations the driver must inter vene
