&WARNING Risk of an accident despite
Evasive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traf fic situa‐
tions.
In addition, thesteering support of Evasive
St eering Assist is general lynot suff icientto
avo id a collision.
In such cases Evasive Steering Assist can:
Rgive an unnecessary warning or pr ovide
assis tance
Rnot give awa rning or not pr ovide assis‐
ta nce
#Alw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation; do not rely on Ev asive
St eering Assist alone.
#Be ready tobrake and take evasive
action if necessar y.
#Preve ntthe assis tance byactively steer‐
ing in non-critical driving situations.
#Drive at an appropriate speed if pedes‐
trians are close tothe path of your vehi‐
cle.
Also obser vethe sy stem limitations of Evasive
St eering Assist.

If yo u act ivate the turn signal indicator tochange
lanes, theve hicle will accelerate more briskly to
th e set speed under thefo llowing conditions:
RDis tance Pilot DISTRONIC is acti vated.
RThe driving speed is higher than 45 mph
(70 km/h).
RThe driven speed drops below thestored

DI ST RO NIC also has the Speed Limit Pilot func‐
tion. This function can be confi gured inthe mul‐
timedia sy stem. If a change in the speed limit is
de tected and Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC is acti va‐
te d, Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC assumes this new
speed. The driven speed is adap
ted when theve hicle is
le ve l with the tra ffic signs. The speed limit dis‐
play in the Instrument Display is alw ays update d
when theve hicle is le vel with the tra ffic sign.
If th e Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC has been put
into passive modebypressing the accelerator

pla yed speed limit as the speed, pr ovided that:
RThe Speed Limit Pilot has been activated in
the multimedia sy stem and
RDis tance Pilot DISTRONIC has been acti va‐

lowing situations:
RIn road and traf fic conditions whi chdo not
allow youto maintain a cons tant speed, e.g.
in heavy traf fic or on winding roads.
ROn slippery roads. Braking or accelerating
can cause the drive wheels tolose traction
and theve hicle could then skid.

RIt uses as arefere nce theve hicle in front or
th e lane markings, depending on the driven
speed.
RSt eering Pilot requiresyou as the driver, to
ke ep your hands onthesteering wheel at all
times so that you are abletointer vene at any
time tocor rect the course of theve hicle and
ke ep it in lane.
RSteering Pilot can be overridden at any time
by steering theve hicle yourself.
RIfth e sy stem de tects that there are no lane
markings, it uses theve hicle ahead as a ref‐
erence up toa speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).
RWhen the sy stem is actively steering, the
è symbol is shown in green in the multi‐
function displa y.
Sy stem limitations of Steering Pilot
St eering Pilot has a limited steering torque for
lateral guidance. In some cases, thesteering
inter vention is not suff icienttokeep theve hicle
in the lane.
If de tection of lane markings and vehicles ahead
is impaired, Steering Pilot switches topassive
mode. The sy stem pr ovides no support in this case. During
the transition from the active to
passive status, theè symbol is shown as
enlar ged and flashes yello w. Once the sy stem is
passive theè symbol is shown as gr ayinthe
