In particular, be aware of the following driving
situations:
R

your own vehicle driving on a different line or
vehicles in front of you driving on a different
line

R

R

Clean the distance sensor of the distance con-
trol assistant regularly (
Y
page 352).
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you are
inattentive, the distance control assistant can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor over-
ride the laws of physics. The distance control
assistant cannot take the road and weather con-
ditions into account, nor the prevailing traffic
situation. The distance control assistant is only
an aid. You are responsible for the distance to
the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in
good time and remaining in lane.
Do not use the distance control assistant:
R
on slippery roads. The drive wheels may lose
their grip when braking or accelerating and
the vehicle may skid.
R
when there is low visibility, e.g. due to fog,
heavy rain or snow.
If the distance control assistant no longer
detects a vehicle driving in front, the distance
control assistant may accelerate to the stored
speed. On a filter lane or a slip road, this speed
may be too high.

Functions and activation conditions
The distance control assistant controls the
speed and supports you in automatically main-
taining the distance from a vehicle detected in
front. If there is no vehicle in front, the distance
control assistant operates in the same way as
cruise control in the speed range between 15
