Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freely. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
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 steering wheel.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is available at
speeds of 20 km/h to 210 km/h.

Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: if Active Dis-
tance Assist DISTRONIC has braked the vehicle to
a standstill, it can automatically follow the vehicle
in front when driving off again within 30 seconds.
If a critical situation is detected in the surrounding
area when driving off,such as a person in the vehi-
cle path, a visual and acoustic warning is given
indicating that the driver must now take control of
the vehicle. The vehicle is not accelerated any fur-
ther.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (
page 189).
