Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
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 maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a halt. The
vehicle accelerates or brakes, depending on the
distance to the vehicle in front and the set speed.
The speed and distance to the vehicle in front are
set and saved using the cruise control lever. The
speed can be set in the range between 20 km/h
and 200 km/h.
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
Depending on the preselected distance,
R
DISTRONIC intervenes either dynamically
(short distance) or to save fuel (long dis‐
tance).
Depending on the vehicle mass detected, the
R
dynamics of the DISTRONIC intervention are
reduced.
The driving style is adapted depending on the
R
drive program selected.
Acceleration to the stored speed is initiated if
R
the turn signal indicator is switched on to
change to the overtaking lane.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers ( page 155).
