Permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a specific

Function of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles
ahead are detected, the set distance is main‐
tained, if necessary, until the vehicle comes to a
halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depend‐
ing on the distance to the vehicle in front and
the set speed. Speed (in the range between
20 km/h and 210 km/h) and the distance to the
vehicle ahead are set and saved on the steering
wheel.
