If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC detects afaster-moving vehicle in front, it increases thedriving speed to the set speed.
Selecting the drive program
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC supports asporty driving style when you have selected theSorS+, drive program (Ypage 145). Accelera-tion behind the vehicle in front or to the setspeed is then noticeably more dynamic. If youhave selected theCorEdriving program, thevehicle accelerates more gently. This setting isrecommended in stop-and-start traffic.
Changing lanes
If you change to the overtaking lane Active Dis-tance Assist DISTRONIC supports you if:
Ryou are driving faster than 45 mph (70 km/h)
Ryou switch on the appropriate turn signal
RActive Distance Assist DISTRONIC does notcurrently detect a danger of collision
If these conditions are fulfilled, your vehicle isaccelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted ifchanging lanes takes too long or if the distancebetween your vehicle and the vehicle in frontbecomes too small.
When you change lanes, Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC monitors the left lane on left-hand-drive vehicles or the right lane on right-hand-drive vehicles.
Stopping
GWARNING
If you leave the driver's seat when the vehicle
is only being braked by Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC, it could roll away:
Rif there is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply
Rif Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is
deactivated using the cruise control lever,
for example by a vehicle occupant or from
outside the vehicle
Rif the electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses are tam-
pered with
Rif the battery is disconnected
Rif the vehicle is accelerated, e.g. by a vehi-
cle occupant
There is a risk of an accident.
Always deactivate Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC and secure the vehicle against
rolling away before you leave it.
Further information on deactivating Active Dis-tance Assist DISTRONIC (Ypage 167).
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC detectsthat the vehicle in front is stopping, it brakesyour vehicle until it is stationary.
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains sta-tionary and you do not need to depress thebrake.
After a time, the electric parking brake securesthe vehicle and relieves the service brake.
Depending on the specified minimum distance,your vehicle will come to a standstill at a suffi-cient distance behind the vehicle in front. Thespecified minimum distance is set using thecontrol on the cruise control lever.
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is acti-vated, the transmission is shifted automaticallyto position ]if:
Rthe driver's seat belt is not fastened and thedriver's door is open
Rthe engine is switched off, unless it is auto-matically switched off by the ECO start/stopfunction
The electric parking brake is applied automati-cally if Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC isactive when the vehicle is stationary and:
