fa tigue or increasing lapses in concentration on
th e part of the driver, it suggests taking a break.
AT TENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot
alw ays de tect fatigue or lapses in concentration in

DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freel y.Ifve hicles are
de tected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until theve hicle comes toa standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
th e distance totheve hicle in front and the set
speed. The speed (from 20 km/h) and the dis-
ta nce totheve hicle in front are set and sa ved on
th e steering wheel.
The adjustable set speed can vary due tothefo l-
lowing factors:
R Drive prog ram selected (/ page 161) R
the stored limit speed (e.g. winter tyre limit)
(/ page 202)
R The maximum speed recommended byactive
ra nge moni toring (depending on equipment
and drive prog ram)
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
R Adjusts the driving style depending on the
selected drive prog ram (energy-saving, com-
fo rtable or dynamic) (/ page 161)
R Initiates acceleration tothe stored speed if the

If a change in the speed limit of 20 km/h or more
is de tected and automatic adoption of speed lim-
its is activated, the new speed limit is automati-
cally adop ted as the stored speed (/ page 220).
The driven speed is adjusted when theve hicle is
le ve l with the tra1c sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adap ted according tothe speed permit-
te d within the urban area. The speed limit display in
the Instrument Display is alw ays updated when
th eve hicle is le vel with the tra1c sign.
If th ere is no speed restriction on an unlimited
str etch ofroad (e.g. on a mo torw ay),th ere com-
mended speed is automatical lyadop ted as the
stored speed. The system uses the speed stored
on an unlimited str etch ofroad as there commen-
ded speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on
an unlimited str etch ofroad, there commended
speed is 130 km/h.
If Ac tive Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode bypressing the accelerator
