When changing lanes, DISTRONIC PLUS
monitors the left lane for left-hand-drive
vehicles and the right lane for right-hand-
drive vehicles.
Vehicles with COMAND APS/
Audio 50 APS
Example: roundabout
i
The following function is not operational
in all countries.
DISTRONIC PLUS uses additional information
from your navigation system so that it can
adapt to certain traffic situations. This is the
case if, while following a vehicle, DISTRONIC
PLUS is active and you:
approach or drive around a roundabout
R
approach a T-junction
R
turn off at a motorway exit
R
Even if the vehicle in front leaves the detec-
tion range, DISTRONIC PLUS temporarily
maintains the current driving speed and does
not accelerate. This is based on the current
map data in the navigation system.
The current speed is maintained:
approximately 10 seconds before the
R
roundabout/T-junction and approximately
1.5 seconds when driving on a roundabout
approximately 12 seconds before reaching
R
a motorway exit and approximately
4 seconds after the motorway exit
Afterwards, the vehicle accelerates back to
the set speed you specified.
