The maximum permissible speed shown by the
traPc sign is stored and the vehicle maintains
or does not exceed this speed.

ble limiter is not deactivated.
Information on the permanent limiter
If t
he vehicle should never exceed a speciNc
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
You do this by limiting the speed between
160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys-
tem ( page 249).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the Instrument Display. When you con-
Nrm the message, display messages no longer
appear until you switch oM the vehicle. The speed
will only be displayed again once the vehicle has
been restarted or if the set speed is changed.
The permanent limiter does not switch to passive
mode even during kickdown and the driven speed
remains below the set speed. Setting the limit speed for winter tyres

Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
DIS
TRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freely. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
the distance to the vehicle in front and the set
speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in
front are set and saved using the steering wheel.
Available speed range: = Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package:
20 km/h - 200 km/h

TRONIC:
= Adjusts the driving style depending on the
selected drive program (fuel-saving, comforta-
ble or dynamic)
= Initiates acceleration to the stored speed if the
turn signal indicator is switched on to change
to the overtaking lane
= Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package:
- Reacts to stationary vehicles detected in
urban speed ranges (except bicycles and
motorcycles)
- Takes one-sided overtaking restrictions
into account on motorways or on multi-
lane roads with separate carriageways
(country-dependent)
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package and
Parking Package: if the vehicle has been braked to
a standstill on multi-lane, separate carriageways
by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, it can auto-
matically follow the vehicle in front when driving
oM again within 30 seconds. If a critical situation
is detected when driving oM, a visual and acoustic
warning is given indicating that the driver must now take control of the vehicle. The vehicle is not
acceler ated any further.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers ( page 237).

Function of Active Speed Limit Assist
If a c
hange in the speed limit of 20 km/h or more
is detected and automatic adoption of speed lim-
its is activated, the new speed limit is automati-
cally adopted as the stored speed (  page 269).
The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is
level with the traPc sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adapted according to the speed permit-
ted within the urban area. The speed limit display
in the Instrument Display is always updated when
the vehicle is level with the traPc sign.
If there is no speed restriction on an unlimited
stretch of road (e.g. on a motorway), the recom-
mended speed is automatically adopted as the
stored speed. The system uses the speed stored
on an unlimited stretch of road as the recommen-
ded speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on
an unlimited stretch of road, the recommended
speed is 130 km/h.
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adopted. Observe the notes on driving systems and your
r
esponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (  page 237).
System limits
The system limits of TraPc Sign Assist apply to
the detection of traPc signs ( page 267).
Speed limits below 20 km/h are not automatically
adopted by the system as the stored speed. Tem-
porary speed restrictions (e.g. for a certain time
or due to weather conditions) cannot be properly
detected by the system. The maximum permissi-
ble speed applying to a vehicle with a trailer is not
detected by the system.
Adjust the speed in these situations. &

The speed adopted by Active Speed Limit
Assis
t may be too high or incorrect in some
individual cases, such as:
= at speed limits below 20 km/h =

et conditions or in fog
= when towing a trailer 
Ensure that the driven speed complies
wit

h traPc regulations. 
Adjust the driving speed to suit current
tr
aPc and weather conditions. Function of route-based speed adaptation
When A

ctive Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activa-
ted, the vehicle speed will be adapted accordingly
to the route events ahead. Depending on the drive
program selected, the vehicle negotiates a route
event ahead in an economical, comfortable or
dynamic manner. When the route event has been
passed, the vehicle accelerates again to the
stored speed. The set distance to the vehicle in
front, vehicles detected ahead and speed restric-
tions ahead are taken into account.
You can activate and deactivate route-based
speed adaptation in the multimedia system
(  page 255).
The following route events are taken into account: = Bends 254
Driving and parking

=
T -junctions, roundabouts and toll stations
= Turns and exits
= TraPc jams ahead (only with Live TraPc Infor-
mation )
% When the toll station is reached, Active Dis-
t
ance Assist DISTRONIC adopts the speed as
the stored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi-
cat
or to change lanes is switched on and one of
the following situations is detected:
= Turning at junctions
= Driving on slowing-down lanes
= Driving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down
lanes
The driver is responsible for choosing the right
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular to junctions, roundabouts and
traPc lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
When route guidance is active, the Nrst speed
adjustment is carried out automatically. If the turn
signal indicator is switched on, the selected route is conNr
med
and further speed adjustment is acti-
vated.
Speed adaptation is cancelled in the following
cases:
= If the turn signal indicator is switched oM
before the route event.
= If the driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
System limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is
responsible for complying with road traPc regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.
The speed adaptation made by the system may
not always be suitable, particularly in the following
situations:
= the road's course not clearly visible
= Road narrowing
= varying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
vidual lanes, forexample at toll stations
= wet road surfaces, snow or ice
= when towing a trailer In these situations the driver must intervene
accor
dingly. &

Function of Active Stop-and-Go Assist
A
ctive Stop-and-Go Assist helps you when in traf-
fic jams on multi-lane roads with separate carria-
geways by automatically pulling away within up to
60 seconds and with moderate steering manoeu-
vres. It orients itself using the vehicle in front and
lane markings. Active Stop-and-Go Assist auto-
matically maintains a safe distance from the vehi-
cle in front and vehicles cutting in.
Active Stop-and-Go Assist requires you, as the
driver, to keep your hands on the steering wheel
at all times so that you are able to intervene at
any time to correct the course of the vehicle and keep it in lane. Observe the notes on driving sys-
t
ems and your responsibility; you may otherwise
fail to recognise dangers ( page 237).
Active TraPc Jam Assist activates automatically as
soon as all of the requirements are met: The

tus indicator in the multifunction display disap-
pear

Information on DSR &
WARNING Risk of skidding and accident
when DSR is activ
ated on slippery road
surfaces
If the driven speed and the target speed diMer
,
the wheels may lose traction. 
Take into account the road surface and
t
he diMerence between the driving speed
and target speed before activating DSR. Observe the notes on driving systems and your
r
esponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers ( page 237).
You are always responsible for keeping control of
the vehicle and for assessing whether the downhill
gradient can be negotiated. Depending on road
surface and tyres, DSR may not always be able to
keep to the target speed. Select a target speed
suitable for the environmental conditions and also
apply the brakes yourself if required. Activating/deactivating DSR (vehicles with E-
