TIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsu1cient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor override
th e la wsof ph ysics. 4MATIC cannot take account
of road, weather and tra1c conditions. 4MATIC is
only an aid. You are responsible especially for
maintaining a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and for st aying in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum e.ect
of 4MATIC can be achie ved only if you use
winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow chains if
necessar y. 190

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.

tread across the entire width of all tyres.
Minimum tread dep thfor:
R Summer ty res: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm #
For saf etyre asons, replace the tyres
before the legall y-prescribed limit forthe
minimum tread dep thisreached. Car

WARNING
ARNING Risk of accident with high per-
fo rm ance tyres
The special tyre tread in combination with the
optimised tyre compound means that therisk
of skidding and hydroplaning on wetro ads is
increased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temp erature and tyre running
te mp erature. #
Switch on the ESP ®
and adapt your driv-
ing style accordingl y. #
Use i M+S tyres at outside temp era-
tures of less than 10 °C. #
Only use the tyres forth eir intended pur-
pose. Obser
vethefo llowing when selecting, /tting and
re placing tyres:
R Countr y-speci/c requ irements for tyre
appr oval that de/ne a speci/c tyre type for
yo ur vehicle.
R Furthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can be
high lybene/cial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only /t wheels of the same size on one axle
(leT and right).
It is only permissible to/t a di.e rent wheel
size in theev ent of a 0at tyre in order todrive
to the specialist workshop.
R Do not make any modi/cations tothe brake
