Vehicles with Active Parking Assist and Driving
Assistance Package: if Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC has braked the vehicle to a standstill,
it can automatically follow the vehicle in front
when it drives off again within 30 seconds. If a
critical situation is detected in the surrounding
area when the vehicle drives off, such as a person
in the path of the vehicle, a visual and acoustic
warning will be given indicating that the driver
must now take control of the vehicle. The vehicle
will not be accelerated any further.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers (

page 252).
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance will be main-
tained, until the vehicle comes to a standstill if
necessary. The vehicle will accelerate or brake
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 steer-
ing wheel.
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist is available in
the speed range from 15 mph (20 km/h) -
130 mph (210 km/h).
