Ac tive Stop-and-Go Assist helps you when in traf-
fi c jams on multi-lane roads with separate car ria-
ge wa ys by automatically pulling away within up to
60 seconds and with moderate steering manoeu-
vres. It orients itself using theve hicle in front and
lane markings. Active Stop-and-Go Assist auto-
matically maintains a safe distance from theve hi-
cle in front and vehicles cutting in.
Ac tive Stop-and-Go Assist requ ires you, as the
driver, tokeep your hands on the steering wheel
at all times so that you are able tointer vene at
any time tocor rect the course of theve hicle and
ke ep it in lane.
Obser vethe no tes on driving systems and your
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recognise
dangers (/ page 217). Ac
tive Stop-and-Go Assist activates automatically
when all of thefo llowing conditions are met:
R You are in a tra1c jam on a mo torw ay or high-
speed major road.
R Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is acti vated
and active (/ page 233).

steered theve hicle for a considerable period of
time or has remo vedth eir hands from the steering
wheel, an optical warning is given /rst. Display 1
appears in the driver's displa y.Ifth e driver still does not steer
theve hicle, or gives no con/rma-

If th e driver does not react tothis wa rning for a
considerable period, an emer gency stop is initi-
ated (/ page 241).
The warning is not issued or is stopped as soon as
th e system de tects that the driver has touched
