Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freely. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
the distance to the vehicle in front and the set
speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in
front are set and saved using the steering wheel.
Available speed range:

15 mph (20 km/h) - 120 mph (200 km/h)

Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package and
Parking Package: if the vehicle has been braked to
a standstill on multi-lane, separate roadways by
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, it can auto-
matically follow the vehicle in front when driving
off again within 30 seconds. If a critical situation
is detected when driving off, a visual and acoustic
warning is given indicating that the driver must
now take control of the vehicle. The vehicle is not
accelerated any further.
