Activating
X
Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards
you ? or push it up : or down ; .
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC is activated.
X
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle adapts its speed to that of the
vehicle in front, but only up to the desired
stored speed.
If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the Distance Pilot Suspended mes-
sage appears on the multifunction display.
The set distance to a slower-moving vehicle in
front will then not be maintained. You will be
driving at the speed you determine by the
position of the accelerator pedal.
You can also activate Distance Pilot DISTRONIC
when stationary. The lowest speed that can be
set is 20 mph (30 km/h).

Activating at the current speed/last
stored speed

WARNING
If you call up the stored speed and it differs
from the current speed, the vehicle acceler-
ates or decelerates. If you do not know the
stored speed, the vehicle could accelerate or
brake unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Pay attention to the road and traffic condi-
tions before calling up the stored speed. If you
do not know the stored speed, store the
desired speed again.
X
Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards
you ? .
X
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The first time Distance Pilot DISTRONIC is
activated, it stores the current speed or reg-
ulates the speed of the vehicle to the previ-
ously stored speed.
Driving with Distance Pilot DISTRONIC
Pulling away and driving
X
To pull away with Distance Pilot
DISTRONIC: remove your foot from the brake
pedal.
X
Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards
you ? .
or
X
Accelerate briefly.
The vehicle pulls away and adapts its speed to
that of the vehicle in front. If no vehicle is
detected in front, your vehicle accelerates to
the stored speed.
The vehicle can also pull away when it is facing
an unidentified obstacle or is driving on a differ-
ent line from another vehicle. The vehicle then
brakes automatically.
If Distance Pilot DISTRONIC does not detect a
vehicle in front, the system operates like cruise
control.
If Distance Pilot DISTRONIC detects that the
vehicle in front has slowed down, it brakes the
vehicle. In this way, the specified minimum dis-
tance you have selected is maintained.
If Distance Pilot DISTRONIC detects a faster-
moving vehicle in front, it increases the driving
speed to the set speed.
Selecting the drive program
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC supports a sporty
driving style when you have selected the S or S+
drive program (
Y
page 150). Acceleration
behind the vehicle in front or to the set speed is
then noticeably more dynamic. If you have
selected the C or E driving program, the vehicle
accelerates more gently. This setting is recom-
mended in stop-and-start traffic.
Changing lanes
If you change to the overtaking lane, Distance
Pilot DISTRONIC supports you if:
R
you are driving faster than 45 mph (70 km/h)
R
you switch on the appropriate turn signal
R
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC does not currently
detect a danger of collision
If these conditions are fulfilled, your vehicle is
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted if
changing lanes takes too long or if the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
becomes too small.
