Mercedes-Benz V 200 d, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 212 / 404

DSR is activated but not active if you drive faster
than 18 km/h off-road. DSR remains activated,
but does not brake automatically. If you subse-
quently drive slower than 18 km/h, DSR brakes
automatically until the set speed is reached.
If you drive faster than 45 km/h, DSR switches
off automatically.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the speed driven and the set speed deviate
and you activate DSR on a slippery road sur-
face, the wheels may lose traction. This
increases the risk of skidding and having an
accident.
Before switching DSR on, please take into
consideration the road surface and the differ-
ence between driving speed and the set
speed.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, the driving
safety systems can neither reduce the risk of
accident nor override the laws of physics. DSR
cannot take road, weather and traffic conditions
into account. DSR is only an aid. You are respon-
sible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for
vehicle speed, braking in good time and for stay-
ing in your lane.
You are always responsible for maintaining con-
trol over your vehicle on downhill gradients. DSR
cannot always maintain the set speed, depend-
ing on the condition of the terrain and the tyres.
Select a set speed to suit the surrounding con-
ditions and also apply the brakes yourself, if
necessary.
Activating or deactivating DSR
You can only switch DSR on when you are driving
at 40 km/h or less. If the current speed is too
high, the display shows the
Ã
symbol and the
Max. speed 25 mph message.
When DSR is activated and the vehicle acceler-
ates or brakes, the current speed is saved as the
set speed. This is only the case if you are not
driving faster than 18 km/h.
