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 196).
The following route events are taken into account:
R
Curves
R
T-intersections, roundabouts and toll plazas
R
Turns and exits
R
Tra c jams ahead (only with Live Tra c 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 o at intersections
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 intersections, roundabouts
and tra c lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
When route guidance is active, the rst speed
adjustment is carried out automatically. If the turn
signal indicator is switched on, the selected route
is con rmed and further speed adjustment is acti-
vated.
Speed adaptation is canceled in the following
cases:
R
If the turn signal indicator is switched o
before the route event.
R
If the driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
Syst System limits em limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is
responsible for complying with road tra c 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, for example at toll plazas
R
Wet road surfaces, snow or ice
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.

W WARNING ARNING 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
R
If map data is not up-to-date or available
