DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist
and Stop&Go Pilot
General notes
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and
Stop&Go Pilot aids you in keeping the vehicle in
the centre of the driving lane by means of mod-
erate steering interventions in a speed range
from 0–200 km/h.
It monitors the area in front of your vehicle by
means of multifunction camera : , at the top of
the windscreen.
In a speed range from 0–60 km/h, Stop&Go
Pilot focuses on the vehicle in front, taking into
account lane markings, e.g. when you are fol-
lowing vehicles in a traffic jam.
At speeds of more than 60 km/h, Steering
Assist focuses on detected lane markings (left
and right), only focusing on the vehicle in front if
detected lane markings are not present.
If these conditions are not present, Steering
Assist and Stop&Go Pilot cannot provide assis-
tance.
DISTRONIC PLUS must be active in order for the
function to be available.
Important safety notes
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and
Stop&Go Pilot can neither reduce the risk of an
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and
Stop&Go Pilot is only an aid. You are responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi-
cle speed, for braking in good time and for stay-
ing in lane.
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and
Stop&Go Pilot does not detect road and traffic
conditions and does not detect all road users. If
you are following a vehicle that is driving
towards the edge of the carriageway, your vehi-
cle could come into contact with the kerb or
other road boundaries. Be particularly aware of
other road users, e.g. cyclists, that are directly
next to your vehicle.
Obstacles such as traffic pylons on the lane or
projecting out into the lane are not detected.
An inappropriate steering intervention, e.g. after
you have intentionally driven over a lane mark-
ing, can be corrected at any time if you steer
slightly in the opposite direction.
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and
Stop&Go Pilot cannot continuously keep your
vehicle in lane. In some cases, the steering
intervention is not sufficient to bring the vehicle
back to the lane. In such cases, you must steer
the vehicle yourself to ensure that it does not
leave the lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumi-
nation of the road, or due to snow, rain, fog or
spray
R
glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the sun or
reflection from other vehicles (e.g. if the road
surface is wet)
R
the windscreen is dirty, misted up, damaged
or covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera
R
no or several, unclear lane markings are pres-
ent for one lane, e.g. in a construction area
R
the lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
R
the distance to the vehicle in front is so small
that the lane markings cannot be detected
R
the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch off, cross one another or merge
R
the road is narrow and winding
R
there are highly variable shade conditions on
the roadway
The system is switched to passive and no longer
assists you by performing steering interventions
if:
R
you actively change lane
R
you switch on the turn signal
R
you take your hands off the steering wheel or
do not steer for a prolonged period of time
After you have finished changing lanes, Steering
Assist and Stop&Go Pilot are automatically
active again.
