Assistance Package: if Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC has braked the vehicle to a standstill,
it can automatically follow the vehicle in front
when driving off again within 30 seconds if the
system detects that the driver is touching the
steering wheel. If a critical situation is detected in
the surrounding area when driving off,such as a
person in the vehicle path, a visual and acoustic
warning indicates that the driver must now take
control of the vehicle. The vehicle is not acceler-
ated any further.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
potential dangers (
