Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles
ahead are detected, the set distance is main‐
tained, if necessary, until the vehicle comes to a
halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depend‐
ing on the distance to the vehicle in front and
the set speed. Speed (in the range between
15 mph (20 km/h) and 130 mph (210 km/h))
and the distance to the vehicle ahead are set
and saved on the steering wheel.
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
R

selected drive program (fuel-saving, comfort‐
able or dynamic) (

R
Reacts to stationary vehicles in urban speed
ranges (except bicycles and motorcycles) if
conditions are sufficient to enable detection.
It also does not detect pedestrians.
R
Initiates rapid acceleration to the stored
speed, if the turn signal indicator is switched
on to change to the overtaking lane.
R
Takes one-sided overtaking restrictions into
account on highways or on multi-lane roads
with separate roadways.
Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: if the vehicle
has been braked to a standstill on a multi-lane,
separate roadway by Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC, it can automatically follow the vehi‐
cle in front 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 vehi‐
cle. The vehicle is not accelerated any further.
