Tips for driving with DISTRONIC PLUS
General notes
Pay particular attention in the following traffic
situations:
R
cornering, going into and coming out of a
bend
R
vehicles traveling on a different line
R
other vehicles changing lanes
R
narrow vehicles
R
obstructions and stationary vehicles
R
crossing vehicles
In such situations, brake if necessary.
DISTRONIC PLUS is then deactivated.
Cornering, going into and coming out of a
bend
The ability of DISTRONIC PLUS to detect vehi-
cles when cornering is limited. Your vehicle may
brake unexpectedly or late.
Vehicles traveling on a different line
DISTRONIC PLUS may not detect vehicles trav-
eling on a different line. The distance to the
vehicle in front will be too short.
