The driven speed is adjus
ted when theve hicle is
le ve l with the traf fic sign at the latest. In the
case of signs indicating entry into an urban area,
th e speed is adap ted beforehand. The speed
limit display in the Instrument Display is alw ays
updated when theve hicle is le vel with the tra ffic
sign.
If th ere is no speed restriction on an unlimi ted
st re tch of road (e.g. on a free way), there com‐
mended speed is adop ted as thestored speed.
The sy stem uses the speed stored on an unlimi‐
te dstre tch of road as there commended speed.
If yo u do not alter thestored speed on an unlimi‐
te dstre tch of road, there commended speed is
80 mph (130 km/h).
If Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC has been
put into passi vemode bypressing the accelera‐
to r pedal, only speed limits which are higher
th an the set speed are adop ted.
Ac tive Speed Limit Assi stis only an aid. The
driver is responsible forke eping a safe dis tance
to theve hicle in front, forve hicle speed and for
braking in good time. The maximum permissible
speed also depends on factors su chasthero ad
sur face and traf fic conditions. Sy
stem limitations
Te mp orary speed restrictions (e.g. for a cer tain
time or due towe ather conditions) cannot be
proper ly detected bythe sy stem. The maximum
permissible speed applying for a vehicle with a
trailer is not de tected bythe sy stem. In these sit‐
uations you must adjust your speed yourself. &

The availability of thefo llowing function is

When Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is acti ve,the

gram selected, theve hicle negotiates thero ute
eve nt ahead in a fuel-s aving, com fortable or
dynamic manner. When thero ute event has been
passed, theve hicle accelerates again tothe
st ored speed. The set dis tance totheve hicle in

Ac
tive Steering Assist Fu
nction of Active Steering Assist
Ac tive Steering Assist is count ry-dependent and
only available forve hicles with the Driving Assis‐
ta nce Package.
Ac tive Steering Assist is operational at speeds
up to130mp h (2 10km/h) and helps youto stay
in the center of the lane bymeans of moderate
st eering inter ventions. It uses theve hicle in front
and the lane markings as a refere nce depending
on the driven speed.
When the sy stem is actively steering, theè
symbol is shown in green in the multifunction
displa y.
Ste ering and touch de tection
The driver is requiredtokeep their hands on the
st eering wheel at all times and tobe able to
inter vene at any time. The driver mu stexpect a
ch ange from active topassive mode or vice
ve rsa at any time. If
th e sy stem reaches a sy stem limitation or the
driver has not steered theve hicle for a consider‐
able period of time or has remo vedth eir hands
from thesteering wheel, the sy stem will,
depending on the situation, firs t alert the driver
with a visual warning. Display 1appears in the
multifunction displa y.Ifth e driver still does not
st eer theve hicle, or has still not take n hold of
th esteering wheel, a repeated warning tone
sounds in addition tothe visual warning mes‐
sage toremind the driver totake control of the
ve hicle.
The warning message does not appear or disap‐
pears if one of thefo llowing conditions are me t:
R The driver steers theve hicle. R
The driver presses a steering wheel button or
operates Touch Control.
Ac tive Steering Assist is only an aid. The driver is
re sponsible forth e dis tance totheve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and forst ay ing in lane. Before changing lanes,
th e driver must make sure that the neighboring
lane is free (glance over the shoulder).
Sy stem limitations
Ac tive Steering Assist has a limited steering tor‐
qu efo r lateral guidance. In some cases, the
st eering inter vention is not su fficient tokeep the
ve hicle in the lane.
If th e de tection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches topassive mode. The sy stem pr ovides
no support in this case. During the transition
from the active topassive status, theè sym‐
bol is shown as enlar ged and flashes yello w.
Once the sy stem is passive theè symbol is
gr ay ed out in the multifunction displa y.17 2
