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 230).
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 Driving and parking

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

NO OTE TE Damage due toove rhanging loads
in front or dr awbar ins tallations The
vehicle and the trailer may be damaged
during manoeuvring due toove rhanging loads
at the front of the trailer or dr awbar ins talla-
tions. #
Pay attention toove rhanging loads or
dr aw bar ins tallations while manoeuvring. Tr
ailer Manoeuv ring Assist assists you when
re ve rsing with a trailer. By means of a turning
angle sensor in the trailer coupling, Trailer
Manoeuv ring Assist moni tors the articulation angle between
theve hicle and trailer and adjusts
it to a speci/ed value.
Tr ailer Manoeuv ring Assist is only an aid. It is not
a substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur round-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
Yo u can either enter the articulation angle value
directly via the multimedia system or use a
straightening manoeuvre. When car rying out a
straightening manoeuvre, the system calculates
th e articulation angle automatically and straight-
ens theve hicle/trailer combination tothe trailer's
cur rent direction.
Tr ailer Manoeuv ring Assist must be taught-in
before it can adjust the articulation angle
(/ page 265).
