Vehicles with Active Parking Assist and Driving
Assistance Package: if Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC has braked the vehicle to a standstill,
it can automatically follow the vehicle in front
when it drives off again within 30 seconds if the
system detects that the driver is holding the steer-
ing wheel. If a critical situation is detected in the
surrounding area when driving off,such as a per-
son in the vehicle 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 further.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers (
