nction of DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
DSR is an aid toassist you when driving down‐
hill. It keeps the speed of tr avel at the selected
ta rget speed. The steeper the downhill gradient,
th e greater the DSR braking ef fect on theve hi‐
cle. On flat stre tches of road and uphill gradi‐
ents, the DSR brakes theve hicle minimally or
not at all.
When DSR is activated and the transmission is in
position h,kori, DSR controls the driving
speed. The target speed can be set toava lue
between 2 km/h and 18km/h. By braking or
accele rating, you can drive at a higher or lo wer
speed than theta rget speed at any time.
DSR is deactivated automatically if you drive at
speeds greater than 45 km/h. The DSRsymbol appears in
the multifunction display with the
messa geoff. The status indicator in the multi‐
function display disappears. You also hear a
wa rning tone.

WARNING Risk of skidding and having
an accident when DSR is acti vated on
slippery road sur faces
If th e speed driven and theta rget speed dif‐
fe r, and you activate DSR on a slippery road
sur face, the wheels may lose traction. #
Take into account thero ad sur face and
th e dif fere nce between the driving
speed and target speed before activat‐

Fu
nction of route-based speed adaptation %
The following function is countr y-dependent
and only available in conjunction with the
Driving Assi stance Package.
When Active Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is acti‐
va ted, theve hicle speed will be adjus ted accord‐
ingly tothero ute events ahead. Depending on
th e drive prog ram selected, theve hicle negoti‐
ates a route event ahead in a fuel-s aving, com‐
fo rtable or dynamic manner. When thero ute
eve nt has been passed, theve hicle accelerates
again tothestored speed. The set dis tance to
th eve hicle in front, vehicles de tected ahead and
speed restrictions ahead are take n into account.
Ro ute-based speed adjustment can be config‐
ured in the multimedia sy stem (/ page 234).
The following route events are take n into
account:
R Bends
R T-junctions, roundabouts and tollst ations
R Turns and exits %
When theto llst ation is reached, Active Dis‐
ta nce Assi stDISTRONIC adopts the speed as
th estored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi‐
cator tochange lanes is swit ched on and one of
th efo llowing situations is de tected:
R Turning off at junctions
R Driving on slowing-down lanes
R Driving on lanes adjacent toslowing-down
lanes
The driver is responsible forch oosing theright
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular tojunctions, roundabouts
and traf fic lights, as route-based speed adap ta‐
tion does not brake theve hicle toast andstill.
When route guidance is active, thefirs t speed
adjustment is car ried out automaticall y.Ifthe
turn signal indica tor is switched on, the selected
ro ute is confirmed and fur ther speed adjustment
is activated. Speed adjustment is cancelled in
thefo llowing
cases:
R Ifth e turn signal indicator is switched off
before thero ute event.
R Ifth e driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
Sy stem limits
Ro ute-based speed adap tation does not take
ri ght of wayre gulations into account. The driver
is responsible for complying with road traf fic
re gulations and driving at a suitable speed.
In dif ficult conditions (e.g. unclear roads, lane
nar rowing, wetro ad sur faces, snow or ice) or
when driving wi tha trailer, the speed adjustment
made bythe sy stem may not alw ays be suitable.
In these situations the driver must inter vene
