turn signal MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class COUPE 2017 CL205 User Guide

If there is no vehicle in front, DISTRONIC PLUS
operates in the same way as cruise control.
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle in
front has slowed down, it brakes yourvehicle.I n
this way ,the distance you have selected is main-
tained.
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects afaster-moving
vehicle in front, it increases the driving speed.
However, the vehicle is only accelerated up to
the speed you have stored.
Selecting the drive program
DISTRONIC PLUS supports asporty driving style
when you have selected the Sor S+ driving pro-
gram (
Ypage 144). Acceleration behind the
vehicle in front or to the set speed is then notice-
abl ym ore dynamic. If you have selected the Cor
E driving program, the vehicle accelerates more
gently. This setting is recommended in stop-
and-start traffic.
Changing lanes
If you change to the passing lane, DISTRONIC
PLUS supports you when:
Ryou are driving faster than 45 mph (70 km/h)
Ryou switch on the appropriate turn signal
RDISTRONIC PLUS does not detect adanger of
collision
If these conditions are fulfilled,y ourv ehicle is
accelerated. Acceleration wil lbeinterrupted if
changing lanes takes too long or if the distance
betwee nyourv ehicle and the vehicle in front
becomes too small.
iWhen you change lanes, DISTRONIC PLUS
monitors the left lane on left-hand-drive vehi-
cles or the right lane on right-hand-drive vehi-
cles.
Stopping
GWARNING
When leaving the vehicle,e ven if it is braked
only by DISTRONIC PLUS, it could roll awa yif:
Rthere is amalfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
RDISTRONIC PLUS has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e.g. by avehi-
cle occupant or from outsid ethe vehicle.
Rthe electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses have
been tampered with.
Rthe battery is disconnected.
Rthe accelerator pedalh as been depressed,
e.g. by avehicle occupant.
There is arisk of an accident.
If you wish to exit the vehicle,a lways turn off
DISTRONIC PLUS and secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
For further information on deactivating
DISTRONIC PLUS (
Ypage 167).
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes you rvehicle until it is
stationary.
Once you rvehicle is stationary,itr emains sta-
tionary and you do not need to depresst he
brake.
iAfter atime, the electric parking brake
secures the vehicle and relieves the service
brake.
iDepending on the specifiedm inimum dis-
tance, you rvehicle wil lcome to astandstill at
as ufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specifiedm inimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever.
When DISTRONIC PLUS is activated, the trans-
missioniss hifted automatically to position Pif:
Rthe driver's seat belt is not fastened and the
driver's door is open.
Rthe engine is switched off, unless it is auto-
matically switched off by the ECO start/stop
function.
The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if DISTRONIC PLUS is activated
when the vehicle is stationary and:
Ras ystem malfunction occurs.
Rthe powers upply is not sufficient.
If am alfunction occurs, the transmission may
also shift into position Pautomatically.

ap arking space has been detected, an arrow
towards the right or the left also appears. By
default,A ctiveP arking Assist only displays park-

spaces on the driver's side are displayed as
soon as the turn signal on the driver's side is
activated. When parking on the driver's side,
this must remain switched on until you acknowl-
edge the use of Activ eParking Assist by press-
ing the abutton on the multifunction steer-

whether the parking space is parallel or at right
angles to the direction of travel.
Ap arking space is displayed while you are driv-

Parking tips:
RThe way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditions of the location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into aparking space, or not
far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or ontot he curb. If necessary,
you should cancel the parking procedure with
Active Parking Assist.
RYou can also select preselect transmission
position D.The vehicle redirectsa nd does not
drive as far into the parking space. Should the
transmission change take place too early, the
parking procedure will be canceled. Asensi-
ble parking position can no longer be ach-
ieved from this position.
Exiting aparking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can support
you when you exit the parking space:
Rthe border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. Acurb is too
small, for example.
Rthe border of the parking space must not be
too wide, as the position of the vehicle must
not exceed an angle of 45° to the starting
position as it is maneuvering into the parking
space.
Ram aneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
(1.0 m) must be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exitin gaparking space if you have parked the vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
iIf PARKTRONIC detect
sobstacles, Active
Parking Assist brakes automatically whilst the
vehicle exits the parking space. You are
responsible for braking in good time.

Problems whe nprogramming
If you are experiencing problems programing

tions:
RCheck the transmitter frequency use dby
garage door drive remote control Aand
whethe ritissupported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usuall ybefound on the back of
the garage door drive remote control.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door remote
control A.This increases the likelihoo dthat
garage door remote control Awilltransmit a
strong and precis esigna ltot he integrated
garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angle sfrom the but-
ton which you are programming. Try various
angle satad istance between 2and 12 inches
(5to 30 cm) or at the same angle but at varying
distances.
RIf another remote control is available for the
same garage door drive ,repeatt he same pro-
gramming steps with this remote control.
Before performing these steps, make sure
that new batteries have been installed in
garage door drive remote control A.
RNote that some remote controls only transmit
foralimited amount of time (the indicator
lam pont he remote control goes out). Press
button Bon remote control Aagain before
transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cabl eofthe garage door
