MERCEDES-BENZ GLE SUV 2022 Owners Manual

You can have the following status information for
A
TTENTION ASSIST displayed in the assistance
menu of the on-board computer:
= The length of the journey since the last break.
= The attention level determined by ATTENTION
ASSIST:
- the fuller the circle, the higher the atten-
tion level determined
- as your attention wanes, the circle in the
centre of the display becomes smaller
If ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate the
attention level and cannot issue a warning, the
System suspended message appears. If a warning is given in the Instrument Display, the
multimedia sy
stem oMers to search for a rest
area. You can select a rest area and start naviga-
tion to this rest area. This function can be activa-
ted and deactivated in the multimedia system.
If ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the Û
symbol appears in the assistance graphic in the
Instrument Display. Aser the vehicle is started,
ATTENTION ASSIST is automatically activated. The
last selected sensitivity level remains stored.
System limits
ATTENTION ASSIST is active in the 60 km/h to
200 km/h speed range.
Particularly in the following situations, ATTENTION
ASSIST only functions in a restricted manner and
warnings may be delayed or not occur:
= If you have been driving for less than approx-
imately 30 minutes.
= If the road condition is poor (uneven road sur-
face or potholes).
= If there is a strong side wind.
= If you adopt a sporty driving style (high corner-
ing speeds or high rates of acceleration). =
If A ctive Steering Assist is activated and active
( page 271).
= If the time has been set incorrectly.
= If you change lanes and vary your speed fre-
quently in active driving situations.
The ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness or alertness
assessment is reset and restarted when continu-
ing the journey in the following situations:
= If you switch oM the vehicle.
= If you unfasten your seat belt and open the
driver's door (e.g. to change drivers or take a
break).

Cr

uise control regulates the speed to the value
selected by the driver.
If you accelerate to overtake, forexample, the
stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal aser overtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to the stored speed.
You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the
maximum design speed or up to the set winter
tyre limit.

Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
DIS
TRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freely. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
the distance to the vehicle in front and the set
speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in
front are set and saved using the steering wheel.
Available speed range: = Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package:
20 km/h - 200 km/h

TRONIC:
= Adjusts the driving style depending on the
selected drive program (fuel-saving, comforta-
ble or dynamic)
= Initiates acceleration to the stored speed if the
turn signal indicator is switched on to change
to the overtaking lane
= Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package:
- Reacts to stationary vehicles detected in
urban speed ranges (except bicycles and
motorcycles)
- Takes one-sided overtaking restrictions
into account on motorways or on multi-
lane roads with separate carriageways
(country-dependent)
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package and
Parking Package: if the vehicle has been braked to
a standstill on multi-lane, separate carriageways
by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, it can auto-
matically follow the vehicle in front when driving
oM again within 30 seconds. If a critical situation
is detected when driving oM, a visual and acoustic
warning is given indicating that the driver must now take control of the vehicle. The vehicle is not
acceler ated any further.

responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (  page 249).

cient deceleration by Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes your
v
ehicle with up to 50% of the possible deceler-
ation. If this deceleration is not suPcient,
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC alerts you
with a visual and acoustic warning. 
Adjust your speed and maintain a suita-
ble dis
tance from the vehicle in front. 
Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
e

vasive action. &

If a c

hange in the speed limit of 20 km/h or more
is detected and automatic adoption of speed lim-
its is activated, the new speed limit is automati-
cally adopted as the stored speed (  page 281).
The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is
level with the traPc sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adapted according to the speed permit-
ted within the urban area. The speed limit display
in the Instrument Display is always updated when
the vehicle is level with the traPc sign.
If there is no speed restriction on an unlimited
stretch of road (e.g. on a motorway), the recom-
mended speed is automatically adopted as the
stored speed. The system uses the speed stored
on an unlimited stretch of road as the recommen-
ded speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on
an unlimited stretch of road, the recommended
speed is 130 km/h.
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adopted. Observe the notes on driving systems and your
r
esponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (  page 249).
System limits
The system limits of TraPc Sign Assist apply to
the detection of traPc signs ( page 280).
Speed limits below 20 km/h are not automatically
adopted by the system as the stored speed. Tem-
porary speed restrictions (e.g. for a certain time
or due to weather conditions) cannot be properly
detected by the system. The maximum permissi-
ble speed applying to a vehicle with a trailer is not
detected by the system.
Adjust the speed in these situations. &

Adjust the driving speed to suit current
tr
aPc and weather conditions. Function of route-based speed adaptation
When A

ctive 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 route
event 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 268).
The following route events are taken into account: = Bends =
T
-junctions, roundabouts and toll stations
= Turns and exits
= TraPc jams ahead (only with Live TraPc Infor-
mation )
% When the toll station is reached, Active Dis-
t
ance Assist DISTRONIC adopts the speed as
the stored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi-
cat
or to change lanes is switched on and one of
the following situations is detected:
= Turning at junctions
= Driving on slowing-down lanes
= Driving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down
lanes
The driver is responsible for choosing the right
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular to junctions, roundabouts and
traPc lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
When route guidance is active, the Nrst speed
adjustment is carried out automatically. If the turn
signal indicator is switched on, the selected route is conNr
med
and further speed adjustment is acti-
vated.
Speed adaptation is cancelled in the following
cases:
= If the turn signal indicator is switched oM
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 traPc regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.
The speed adaptation made by the system may
not always be suitable, particularly in the following
situations:
= the road's 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 Driving and parking
