% If you perform a kickdown, the variable lim‐
iter is switched to passive mode. The varia‐
ble limiter is operational again once the
speed drops below the stored speed.

If you brake, deactivate ESP

or if ESP

intervenes, cruise control is deactivated. The
variable limiter is not deactivated.
When you switch off the vehicle, the last
speed stored is cleared.
Permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a specific
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 to a value
between 160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multi‐
media system (

page 209).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the multifunction display. When you
confirm the message with % , display mes‐
sages no longer appear until you switch off the
vehicle. The speed will only be displayed again
once the vehicle has been restarted.
The permanent limiter does not switch to pas‐
sive mode even during kickdown and the driven
speed remains below the set speed.

Function of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
R
Maintains the set speed and accelerates or
decelerates the vehicle if the distance from
the vehicle in front permits.
R
Assists you in maintaining the distance from
the vehicle in front and can bring your vehi‐
cle to a standstill if necessary.
R
Brakes your vehicle with up to 50 % of the
maximum possible braking power. If greater
deceleration performance is required, a vis‐

R
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: responds to stationary vehicles in urban
speed ranges (except bicycles, motorcycles
and pedestrians) if conditions are sufficient
to enable detection.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Active Dis‐
tance Assist DISTRONIC can neither reduce the
risk of an accident nor override the laws of phys‐
ics. It cannot take into account road, weather or
traffic conditions. Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC is only an aid. You are responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi‐
cle speed, for braking in good time and for stay‐
ing in lane.
If all activation conditions are met, you can acti‐
vate Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC during a
journey or while stationary. When Active Dis‐
