DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freel y.Ifve hicles are
de tected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until theve hicle comes toa standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
th e distance totheve hicle in front and the set
speed. The speed (in thera nge between 20 km/h
and 210 km/h) and the distance totheve hicle in
front are set and sa ved on the steering wheel.
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
R Adjusts the driving style depending on the
selected drive prog ram (fuel-saving, comfor ta-
ble or dynamic) (/ page 183) R
Reacts tostationa ryvehicles de tected in
urban speed ranges (e xcept bicycles and
mo torc yc les)
R Initiates acceleration tothe stored speed if the
turn signal indica tor is switched on tochange
to theove rtaking lane
R Take s one-sided overtaking restrictions into
account on mo torw ays or on multi-lane roads
with separate car riag ewa ys(countr y-depend-
ent)
If th eve hicle has been braked toa standstill on
multi-lane, separate car riag ewa ysby Active Dis-
ta nce Assist DISTRONIC, it can automatically fol-
low theve hicle in front when driving o. again
within 30 seconds. If a critical situation is de tec-
te d when driving o., a visual and acoustic warning
is given indicating that the driver must now take
cont rol of theve hicle. The vehicle is not acceler-
ated any fu rther.

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 229).
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 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

th e system de tects that the driver has not
steered theve hicle for a considerable period of
time or has remo vedth eir hands from the steering
wheel, display 1appears. If the driver still does
not steer theve hicle, a warning tone sounds in
addition tothe visual warning message.
If th e driver does not react tothewa rning for a

emer gency stop (/ page 232).
If th e driver steers, no warning is issued, or the
wa rning is ended.
If Ac tive Steering Assist de tects that a system
limit has been reached, a visual warning is issued
and a warning tone sounds. Obser

Ac tive Steering Assist has a limited steering tor-
qu efo r lateral guidance. In some cases, the steer-
ing inter vention is not su1cient tokeep theve hi-
cle in the lane or todrive thro ugh exits.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing instances:
R There is poor visibility, e.g. due tosno w,rain,
fo g, heavy spr ay,gr eatly varying light condi-
tions or strong shadow s onthe car riag ewa y.
R There is glare, e.g. from oncoming tra1c,
di re ct sunlight or re0ections.
R Insu1cient road illumination.
R The windscreen is dirty, mis ted up, damaged
or co vered in the vicinity of the camera, e.g.
by a stic ker.
R No, or se veral, unclear lane markings are pres-
ent for one lane, or the markings change
qu ickl y,fore xamp le, in a construction area or
junctions. R
The lane markings are wornawa y,dark or co v-
ered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
R Ifth e distance totheve hicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cannot be
de tected.
R The road is nar row and winding.
R There are obs tacles on the lane or projecting
out into the lane, suchas object mar kers.
The system does not pr ovide assistance in thefo l-

R On tight bends and when turning.
R When crossing junctions.
R Atroundabouts or toll stations.
