R
In multi-storey car parks or on roads with
R
steep uphill or downhill gradients.
If there are narrow vehicles in front, such as
R
bicycles or motorcycles.
In addition, on slippery roads, braking or acceler-
ating can cause one or several wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle could then skid.
Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in
these situations.

ARNING Risk of accident from accelera-
tion or braking by Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may accel-
erate or brake in the following cases, for
example:
If the vehicle pulls away using Active Dis-
R
tance Assist DISTRONIC.
If the stored speed is called up and is con-
R
siderably faster or slower than the cur-
rently driven speed.
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no
R
longer detects a vehicle in front or does
not react to relevant objects.
Always carefully observe the tra c con-
#
ditions and be ready to brake at all
times.
Take into account the tra c situation
#
before calling up the stored speed.
& W W ARNING
ARNING Risk of accident due to insu -
cient deceleration by Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes your
vehicle with up to 50% of the possible deceler-
ation. If this deceleration is not su cient,
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC alerts you
with a visual and acoustic warning.
Adjust your speed and maintain a suita-
#
ble distance from the vehicle in front.
Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
#
evasive action.

function of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC is impaired
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC does not
react or has a limited reaction:
when driving on a di erent lane or when
R
changing lanes
to pedestrians, animals, bicycles or sta-
R
tionary vehicles, or unexpected obstacles
to complex tra c conditions
R
to oncoming vehicles and crossing tra c

As a result, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
may neither give warnings nor intervene in
such situations.
Always observe the tra c conditions

carefully and react accordingly.
