Selecting the drive program
DISTRONIC PLUS supports a sporty driving
style when you have selected the S or S+
drive program (

is then noticeably more dynamic. If you have
selected the C or E drive program, the vehicle
accelerates more gently. This setting is rec-
ommended in stop-start traffic.
Changing lanes
If you change to the overtaking lane,
DISTRONIC PLUS supports you if:
you are driving faster than 70 km/h
R
you switch on the respective turn signal
R
DISTRONIC PLUS does not detect a danger
R
of collision
If these conditions are met, your vehicle is
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted
if changing lanes takes too long or if the dis-
tance between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front becomes too small.

Vehicles with COMAND Online: when
you change lanes, DISTRONIC PLUS moni-
tors the right lane in the case of left-side
traffic or the left lane in the case of right-
side traffic.
Vehicles with Audio 20: when you change
lanes, DISTRONIC PLUS monitors the left
lane on left-hand-drive vehicles or the right

The following function is only available in
vehicles with the Driving Assistance Plus
package.
The function is not operational in all coun-
tries.
DISTRONIC PLUS uses additional information
from your navigation system so that it can
adapt to certain traffic situations. This is the
case if, while following a vehicle, DISTRONIC
PLUS is active and you:
approach or drive around a roundabout
R
approach a T-junction
R
turn off at a motorway exit
R
approach a tollgate
R
Even if the vehicle in front leaves the detec-
tion range, DISTRONIC PLUS temporarily
maintains the current driving speed and does
not accelerate. This is based on the current
map data in the navigation system.
Afterwards, the vehicle accelerates back to
the speed you set.
The system takes into account the fact that
overtaking on the right is not permitted on
motorways or high-speed major roads at
speeds above 80 km/h. The driving speed is
adjusted to the speed of the queue of vehicles
in the adjacent lane to the left.
i
Prevention of overtaking on the right
applies to countries where traffic drives on
the right. In countries where traffic drives
on the left, overtaking on the left is preven-
ted accordingly.
