WARNING Risk of accident due to limi‐
ted detectability of road users and traffic
situations
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC cannot
always clearly identify other road users and
complex traffic situations.
In these conditions, Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC may:
R
Give an unnecessary warning and then
brake the vehicle.
R
Neither give a warning nor intervene.
R
Accelerate or brake unexpectedly.
#
Continue driving with care and be ready
to brake, particularly if Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC warns you.
&
WARNING Risk of accident from acceler‐
ation or braking by Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may accel‐
erate or brake in the following cases, for
example:
R
If the vehicle pulls away using Active Dis‐
tance Assist DISTRONIC.
R
If the stored speed is called up and is
considerably faster or slower than the
currently driven speed.
R
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no
longer detects a vehicle in front or does
not react to relevant objects.
#
Always carefully observe the traffic con‐
ditions and be ready to brake at all
times.
#
Take into account the traffic situation
before calling up the stored speed.
&
WARNING Risk of accident due to insuf‐
ficient deceleration by Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes
your vehicle with up to 50 % of the maximum
possible deceleration. If this deceleration is
not sufficient, Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC alerts you with a visual and
acoustic warning.
#
In these cases, adjust your speed and
keep a sufficient distance.
#
Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
evasive action.
