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

Vehicles which are not driving in the middle of
their lane
R
Other vehicles changing lane
R
Narrow vehicles

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 which are not driving in the mid-
dle of their lane
DISTRONIC PLUS may not detect vehicles which
are not driving in the middle of their lane. The
distance to the vehicle in front will be too short.
