In addition, on slippery roads, braking or acceler-
ating can cause one or several wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle could then skid.
Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in these situations.&WARNING Risk of accident from accelera-
tion or braking by Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may accel-
erate or brake in the following cases, for
example:
= If the vehicle pulls away using Active Dis-
tance Assist DISTRONIC.
= If the stored speed is called up and is con-
siderably faster or slower than the cur-
rently driven speed.
= If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no
longer detects a vehicle in front or does
not react to relevant objects.
Always carefully observe the tra"Pc con-
ditions and be ready to brake at all
times.Take into account the tra"Pc situation
before calling up the stored speed.&WARNING Risk of accident due to insu"P-
cient deceleration by Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes your vehicle with up to 50% of the possible deceler-
ation. If this deceleration is not su"Pcient,
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC alerts you with a visual and acoustic warning.
Adjust your speed and maintain a suita-
ble distance from the vehicle in front.Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
evasive action.&WARNING Risk of accident if detection
function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is impaired
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC does not
react or has a limited reaction:
= when driving on a di"Merent lane or when
changing lanes
= to pedestrians, animals, bicycles or sta-
tionary vehicles, or unexpected obstacles
= to complex tra"Pc conditions
= to oncoming vehicles and crossing tra"Pc
As a result, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may neither give warnings nor intervene in
such situations.
Always observe the tra"Pc conditions
carefully and react accordingly.

The limit speed displayed in the driver\bs dis-
play is adopted as the stored speed. The vehi-
cle adapts its speed to that of the vehicle in
front, but only up to the stored speed, or limits its speed accordingly.\bA speed limit shown in the driver display is
adopted only while the vehicle is in motion, not when stationary.

Deactivating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
&WARNING Risk of an accident due to
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC being
active when you leave the driver\bs seat
If you leave the driver\bs seat while the vehicle
is being braked by Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC only, the vehicle can roll away.
Always deactivate Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC and secure the vehicle to
prevent it from rolling away before you
leave the driver\bs seat.Press

If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator pedal, only speed limits which are higher than theset speed are adopted.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognizedangers (  page 228).
System limits
The system limits of Tra"Pc Sign Assist apply to
the detection of tra"Pc signs (  page 258).
Speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h) are not
automatically adopted by the system as the stored speed. Temporary speed restrictions (e.g. for acertain time or due to weather conditions) cannot
be properly detected by the system. The maxi- mum permissible speed applying to a vehicle witha trailer is not detected by the system.
Adjust the speed in these situations.&WARNING Risk of accident due to Active
Speed Limit Assist adapting the vehicle\bs speed
The speed adopted by Active Speed Limit
Assist may be too high or incorrect in some
individual cases, such as:
= at speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h)
= in wet conditions or in fog
= when towing a trailer
Ensure that the driven speed complies
with tra"Pc regulations.Adjust the driving speed to suit current
tra"Pc and weather conditions.

qFunction of route-based speed adaptation
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activa-
ted, the vehicle speed will be adapted accordingly
to the route events ahead. Depending on the drive program selected, the vehicle negotiates a routeevent ahead in an economical, comfortable or
dynamic manner. When the route event has been
passed, the vehicle accelerates again to the stored speed. The set distance to the vehicle in
front, vehicles detected ahead and speed restric-
tions ahead are taken into account.
You can activate and deactivate route-based
speed adaptation in the multimedia system (  page 245).
The following route events are taken into account: = Bends
= T-intersections, tra"Pc circles and toll stations
= Turns and exits
= Tra"Pc jams ahead (only with Live Tra"Pc Infor-
mation )\bWhen the toll station is reached, Active Dis- tance Assist DISTRONIC adopts the speed asthe stored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi-
cator to change lanes is switched on and one of
the following situations is detected:
= Turning at intersections
= Driving on slowing-down lanes
= Driving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down
lanes
244Driving and parking

The driver is responsible for choosing the right
speed and observing other road users. This applies in particular to intersections, tra"Pc circles
and tra"Pc lights because route-based speed
adaptation does not brake the vehicle to a stand- still.
When route guidance is active, the "Nrst speed
adjustment is carried out automatically. If the turn signal indicator is switched on, the selected routeis con"Nrmed and further speed adjustment is acti-
vated.
Speed adaptation is canceled in the following
cases:
= If the turn signal indicator is switched o"M
before the route event.
= If the driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
System limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is responsible for complying with road tra"Pc regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.The speed adaptation made by the system may not always be suitable, particularly in the followingsituations:
= the road\bs course not clearly visible
= Road narrowing
= varying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
vidual lanes, forexample at toll stations
= wet road surfaces, snow or ice
= when towing a trailer
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.&WARNING Risk of accident in spite of
route-based speed adaptation
Route-based speed adaptation can malfunc-
tion or be temporarily unavailable in the fol-
lowing situations:
= If the driver does not follow the calculated
route
= If map data is not up-to-date or available
= In the event of roadworks
=
In bad weather or road conditions
= If the accelerator pedal is depressed
= In the event of electronically displayed
speed limitationsAdapt the speed to the tra"Pc situation.

qFunction of Active Stop-and-Go Assist
Active Stop-and-Go Assist helps you when in traf- "Nc jams on multi-lane roads with separate road-
ways by automatically pulling away within up to
60 seconds and with moderate steering maneu-
vers. It orients itself using the vehicle in front and
lane markings. Active Stop-and-Go Assist auto-
matically maintains a safe distance from the vehi- cle in front and vehicles cutting in.
Active Stop-and-Go Assist requires you, as the driver, to keep your hands on the steering wheel
at all times so that you are able to intervene at any time to correct the course of the vehicle and
keep it in lane. Observe the notes on driving sys- tems and your responsibility; you may otherwise
fail to recognize dangers (  page 228).
Active Stop-and-Go Assist activates automatically
as soon as all of the requirements are met: The

qInformation on DSR&WARNING Risk of skidding and accident
when DSR is activated on slippery road
surfaces
If the driven speed and the target speed di"Mer,
the wheels may lose traction.
Take into account the road surface and
the di"Merence between the driving speed
and target speed before activating DSR.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers (  page 228).
You are always responsible for keeping control of the vehicle and for assessing whether the downhill
gradient can be negotiated. Depending on road
surface and tires, DSR may not always be able to keep to the target speed. Select a target speed
suitable for the environmental conditions and also
apply the brakes yourself if required.

qFunction of Active Steering Assist
Active Steering Assist is available up to a speed of
130 mph (210 km/h). The system helps you to
stay in the center of the lane by means of moder- ate steering interventions. Depending on the
speed at which you are driving, Active Steering Assist uses the vehicles ahead and lane markings
as a reference.
\bDepending on the country, Active Steering
Assist can use the surrounding tra"Pc as a ref-
erence in the lower speed range. If necessary, Active Steering Assist can then also provideassistance when driving outside the center of
the lane to form an emergency corridor, for
example.
If the detection of lane markings and vehicles ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist switchesto passive mode. The system provides no support
in this case.
