When you activate cruise control, the stored
speed is briefly shown in the text field of the mul‐
tifunction display. The multifunction display also
shows the ¯ symbol and the stored speed.
When you activate the variable limiter, the multi‐
function display briefly shows the stored speed.
The multifunction display also shows the È
symbol and the stored speed.

For vehicles with Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC, the segments between the start
of the scale and the stored speed also light
up in the speedometer dial.
Calling up the stored speed
& WARNING Risk of accident due to stored
speed
If you call up the stored speed and this is
lower than your current speed, the vehicle
decelerates.
Take into account the traffic situation
#
before calling up the stored speed.
Briefly pull the cruise control lever in direction
#
3.
The last stored speed is called up and the
vehicle maintains this speed (cruise control)
or does not exceed it (variable limiter).
If the last stored speed has previously been
deleted, the currently driven speed is stored.
%
When you switch off the vehicle, the last
speed stored is cleared.
Increasing or reducing the speed
Press the cruise control lever up

as far as the 1st pressure point.
The stored speed is increased or reduced by
1 km/h.
or
Press the cruise control lever up

beyond the 1st pressure point.
The stored speed is increased or reduced by
10 km/h.
If you have set
Miles
as the unit for the digital
speedometer, you can maintain any speed from
20 mph (cruise control) or set it as the limit
speed (variable limiter). You can then set the limit
speed in increments of 1 mph and 5 mph.
Deactivating cruise control or the variable
limiter
Briefly press the cruise control lever forwards

or
Briefly push the cruise control lever in the

play.
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
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
1
or down
between 20 km/h and 200 km/h.
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
Depending on the preselected distance,
R

or down
DISTRONIC intervenes either dynamically
(short distance) or to save energy (long dis‐
tance).
Depending on the vehicle mass detected, the
R
dynamics of the DISTRONIC intervention are
reduced.

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
