Onvery rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may failto recognize other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognize
th em too late.
In these or similar situations, the automatic
high beam is not deactivated or is activated
despite the presence of other road users.
#Alw ays obser vethe tra ffic carefully and
switch off the high beam in good time.
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist switch es automati‐
cally between:

At speeds abo ve19 mp h (30 km/h):
RIf no other road users are de tected, the high
beam is automatically switched on. The high beam switches off automatically:
RAt
speeds below 16mp h (25 km/h).
RIfot her road users are de tected.
RIfstre et lighting is suf ficient.
At speeds abo veappr ox.31 mp h(5 0 km/h):

The sy stem's optical sensor is located behind
th e windshield near theov erhead control panel.
Sy stem limitations
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
De tection may be restricted if:
RVi sibility is impaired, forex ample in fog,
heavy rain or sno w.

Canceling a brake application ofActive Brake
Assi st
Yo u can cancel a brake applic ation of Active
Brake Assi stat any time by:
RDep ressing the accelera tor pedal fully.
RRe leasing the brake pedal.
Ac tive Brake Assi stcancels the inter vention
when at least one of thefo llowing conditions is
fulfilled:
RYo u maneuver to avoid an obs tacle.
RThere is no longer a risk of collision.
RAn obs tacle is no longer de tected in front of
yo ur vehicle.
Evasive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist has thefo llowing charac‐
te rist ics:
RCan de tect stationary or crossing pedes‐
trians.
RCan assist the driver with additional steering
assis tance if a swerving maneu ver is de tec‐
te d.
RCan be activated byan abrupt steering mo ve‐
ment during a swerving maneu ver.
RCan assist during swerving and stra ightening
of theve hicle.
RCan react from a speed of appr oximately
12 mp h(2 0 km/h) up toa speed of appr ox‐
imately 43 mph(7 0 km/h).
RYo u can pr eventthe assis tance at any time
by active steering.
&
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 generally not suff icientto
av oid 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.
Sy stem limitations
Ac tive Brake Assi stmay be impai red or may not
function in thefo llowing situations:
RIn sno w,rain, fog, heavy spr ay, if there is

RIfth era dar sensors are dirty or co vered.
Do not use Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC in thefo l‐
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.
RWhen there is poor visibility, e.g. due tofog,
heavy rain or sno w.
RIn parking garage s or at tollst ations.
ROn roads with steep uphill or downhill gradi‐
ents.

RWhen cornering, entering and exiting a bend.
RWhen not driving in the center of the lane.
RWhen other vehicles are changing lane.

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(1 30 km/h).
RWhen the sy stem is actively steering, the
è symbol is shown in green in the multi‐
function displa y.
St eering Pilot sy stem limits
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 gr ayed out in the
multifunction displa y.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
RIf th ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,
ra in, fog or spr ay.
RIfth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
dire ct sunlight or reflection from other vehi‐
cles (e.g. if thero ad sur face is wet).
RIfth e windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
or co vered, for ins tance byast icke r,in the
vicinity of the camer a.
RIf no, or se
veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area.
RIf th e lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
RIfth e dis tance totheve hicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
de tected.
RIfth e lane markings change quickl y,e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one ano ther or
mer ge.
RIfth ero ad is nar rowand winding.
RIfth ere are highly variable shade conditions
on thero ad.
RIfth ere are obs tacles such as traffic guid‐
ance posts on the lane or projecting out into
th e lane. The sy
stem does not pr ovide assis tance in the
fo llowing conditions:
ROn very sharp bends.
RWhen towing a trailer.
RIfyo u actively change lane without switch ing
on the turn signal indicator.
RIfyo uswit chon the turn signal indicator and
th e conditions for activating Active Lane

Note s onSteering Pilot
St eering Pilot is only an aid. You are responsible
fo rth e dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hi‐
cle speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ‐
