to stationary obstacles on the road, e.g. stopped or parked vehicles (vehicles without the Driving Assistance Package)
to stationary obstacles on the road, e.g. stopped or parked vehicles, if conditions are not sufficient to enable detection (vehicles with the Driving Assistance Package)
to oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic
As a result, Distance Pilot DISTRONIC may neither give warnings nor intervene in such situations.
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC cannot always clearly identify other road users and complex traffic situations.
give an unnecessary warning and then brake the vehicle
neither give a warning nor intervene
accelerate or brake unexpectedly
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC brakes your vehicle with up to 50% of the maximum possible braking power. If this deceleration is not sufficient, Distance Pilot DISTRONIC alerts you with a visual and acoustic warning.
if there is a malfunction in the system or in the power supply
if Distance Pilot DISTRONIC is deactivated with the cruise control lever, e.g. by a vehicle occupant or from outside the vehicle
if the electrics in the engine compartment, the battery or the fuses are tampered with
if the battery is disconnected
if the vehicle is accelerated, e.g. by a vehicle occupant
If you call up the stored speed and this is lower than your current speed, the vehicle decelerates.
If you do not know the stored speed, the vehicle could decelerate unexpectedly.
If Distance Pilot DISTRONIC no longer detects a vehicle in front, it may unexpectedly accelerate to the speed stored.
This speed may be too high for a filter lane or a slip road.
If driving in the right lane, this speed may be so high that you pass vehicles driving on the left (in countries where traffic drives on the right).
If driving in the left lane, this speed may be so high that you pass vehicles driving on the right (in countries where traffic drives on the left).
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and be ready to brake at all times.
If Distance Pilot DISTRONIC performs an automatic driving-off procedure, the vehicle may accelerate unexpectedly.
Where necessary, brake the vehicle yourself and take evasive action.
The speed adopted by the Speed Limit Pilot may be too high or incorrect in some individual cases, such as:
in the wet or in fog
when towing a trailer
Ensure that the driven speed complies with traffic regulations.
The vehicle has been started.
The electric parking brake is released.
Parking Pilot is not being used to park the vehicle or to exit from a parking space.
ESP® is activated, but is not intervening.

or increase 
the specified distance from the vehicle in front. Requirement
A speed has been previously stored.
. Your vehicle pulls away and adapts its speed to that of the vehicle in front. If no vehicle is detected in front, your vehicle accelerates to the set speed.
Requirements:
Speed Limit Pilot is activated in the multimedia system More.
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC is activated.
The system detects a traffic sign indicating a speed limit.
. The displayed speed limit is adopted as the stored speed. Your vehicle adapts its speed to that of the vehicle in front, but only up to the stored speed. If Speed Limit Pilot is activated, any detected changes in the speed limit are adopted by the system.
If Distance Pilot DISTRONIC is unable to sufficiently decelerate the vehicle in order to prevent it from approaching the vehicle in front, you will be warned visually and acoustically. An intermittent warning tone will then sound and the distance warning lamp will light up in the instrument cluster.
