Function of route-based speed adaptation
% The following function is country dependent
and only available for vehicles with the Driv‐
ing Assistance Package Plus and factory nav‐
igation.
When Distance Assist DISTRONIC is active, the
function adjusts the speed depending on the
route events ahead. Depending on the drive pro‐
gram selected, the vehicle negotiates the route
event ahead in a fuel-saving, comfortable or
dynamic manner. When the route event has been
passed, the vehicle accelerates again to the
stored speed. The set distance to the vehicle
ahead, vehicles detected ahead and speed
restrictions ahead are taken into account.
Route-based speed adjustment can by config‐
ured in the multimedia system (
Route events ahead are:
Bends
R
T-junctions, roundabouts and toll stations
R
Turns and exits

%
When the toll station is reached, Active Dis‐
tance Assist DISTRONIC adopts the speed as
the stored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal to
change lanes is switched on and one of the fol‐
lowing situations is detected:
Turning off at junctions
R
Driving on slowing-down lanes
R
Driving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down
R
lanes
The driver is responsible for choosing the right
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular to junctions, roundabouts
and sets of traffic lights, as route-based speed
adaptation does not brake the vehicle to a stand‐
still.
When route guidance is active, the first speed
adjustment is carried out automatically. If the
