If cruise control is activated and Traffic Sign
Assist has detected a speed restriction sign with
a maximum permissible speed and this appears
in the instrument display:
To adopt the detected speed: push rocker
#
switch 3 up.
The maximum permissible speed shown by
the traffic sign is stored and the vehicle main‐
tains this speed.
To deactivate cruise control: push rocker
#
switch 3 (CNCL) down.
If cruise control is deactivated, it can be reactiva‐
ted as follows:
rocker switch 2 (SET+) or (SET-) stores the
R
current speed and the vehicle maintains this
speed
rocker switch 3 (RES) calls up the last speed
R
stored and the vehicle maintains this speed

If you brake, deactivate ESP
venes, cruise control is deactivated.
When you switch off the vehicle, the last
speed stored is cleared.

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

or if ESP inter‐
(Vehicle)
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.
Speed and distance are set and stored on the
steering wheel. The speed can be set in the range
between 15 mph (20 km/h) and 99 mph
(160 km/h) or between 15 mph (20 km/h) and
the vehicle's maximum speed.
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.
Rapid acceleration to the stored speed is initi‐
R
ated if the turn signal indicator is switched on
to change to the overtaking lane.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is only an aid.
The driver is responsible for the distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and for braking
in good time.
System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following instances:
The radar sensors are affected by snow, rain,
R
fog, heavy spray, glare, direct sunlight or
greatly varying ambient light.
The radar sensors may malfunction in parking
R
garages or on roads with steep uphill or
downhill gradients.
If the radar sensors are dirty or covered.
R
On icy or slippery roads, braking or accelerat‐
R
ing can cause the drive wheels to lose trac‐
tion and the vehicle could then skid.
Stationary objects are not detected if these
R
were not previously detected as moving.
On bends, target vehicles may be lost or not
R
recognized correctly. As a result, a target
vehicle is not used to regulate the speed
which may lead to unwanted acceleration.
Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in
these situations.
