Operating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
WARNING Risk of accident if detection function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is impaired
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC does not react or has a limited reaction:

  • when driving on a different lane or when changing lanes

  • to pedestrians, animals, bicycles or stationary vehicles, or unexpected obstacles

  • to complex traffic conditions

  • to oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic

As a result, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may neither give warnings nor intervene in such situations.

Always observe the traffic conditions carefully and react accordingly.
WARNING Risk of accident from acceleration or braking by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may accelerate or brake in the following cases, for example:

  • If the vehicle pulls away using Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC.

  • If the stored speed is called up and is considerably faster or slower than the currently driven speed.

  • If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no longer detects a vehicle in front or does not react to relevant objects.

Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and be ready to brake at all times.
Take into account the traffic situation before calling up the stored speed.
WARNING Risk of accident due to insufficient deceleration by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes your vehicle with up to 50% of the possible deceleration. If this deceleration is not sufficient, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC alerts you with a visual and acoustic warning.

Adjust your speed and maintain a suitable distance from the vehicle in front.
Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take evasive action.

Ensure that the driven speed complies with traffic regulations.
Adjust the driving speed to suit current traffic and weather conditions.
