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 247).
The following route events are taken into account:
R
Bends
R
T-junctions, roundabouts and toll stations
R
Turns and exits
R
Traffic jams ahead (only with Live Traffic Infor-
mation )
%
When the toll station is reached, Active Dis-
tance Assist DISTRONIC adopts the speed as
the stored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi-
cator to change lanes is switched on and one of
the following situations is detected:
R
Turning at junctions
R
Driving on slowing-down lanes
R
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
traffic lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
When route guidance is active, the first speed
adjustment is carried out automatically. If the turn
signal indicator is switched on, the selected route
is confirmed and further speed adjustment is acti-
vated.
Speed adaptation is cancelled in the following
cases:
R
If the turn signal indicator is switched off
before the route event.
R
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 traffic 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:
R
the road's course not clearly visible
R
Road narrowing
R
varying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
vidual lanes, forexample at toll stations
R
wet road surfaces, snow or ice
R
when towing a trailer
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.

WARNING Risk of accident in spite of
route-based speed adaptation
Route-based speed adaptation can malfunc-
tion or be temporarily unavailable in the fol-
lowing situations:
R
If the driver does not follow the calculated
route
