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.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may not detect narrow vehicles driving in front, e.g. motorcycles or vehicles not travelling in line with your vehicle.

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.
Requirements:

  • The vehicle has been started.

  • The parking brake has been released.

  • ESP® is activated and is not intervening.

  • The transmission is in position .

  • The driver's and the co-driver door are closed.

  • The seat occupancy recognition on the driver's seat has detected that the driver has fastened the seat belt.

  • The check of the radar sensor system has been successfully completed.

Switching between the limiter and Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Press button .
Activating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC or the variable limiter
To activate without a stored speed:
press rocker switch up (SET+) or down (SET-).

The current speed is stored and maintained by the vehicle (Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC) or limited (variable limiter).

or
To activate with a stored speed:
press rocker switch up (RES).

If rocker switch is pressed up twice, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC or the variable limiter is activated with the speed restriction displayed in the instrument cluster.

Adopting the displayed limit speed when Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC or the limiter is active
Press rocker switch up (RES).

The limit speed displayed in the instrument cluster is adopted as the stored speed. The vehicle adapts its speed to that of the vehicle in front, but only up to the stored speed.

Pulling away again with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Remove your foot from the brake pedal.
Press rocker switch up (RES).
or
Depress the accelerator pedal briefly with force.

The functions of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC continue to be carried out.

Deactivating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
WARNING Risk of an accident due to Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC being active when you leave the driver's seat

If you leave the driver's seat while the vehicle is being braked by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC only, the vehicle can roll away.

Always deactivate Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away before you leave the driver's seat.
Press rocker switch down (CNCL).
Depress the brake pedal.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is automatically deactivated in the following circumstances:

  • The driver's seat belt buckle is open and the vehicle is travelling slower than 3 km/h.

  • The driver's seat is not occupied.

  • The transmission is not in position D.

  • The parking brake is applied.

  • The driver or co-driver door is open.

  • There is an internal error.

In addition to the deactivation of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, transmission position is automatically engaged if one of these conditions is met or if the vehicle is travelling very slowly.

Increasing or reducing the speed
Push rocker switch up (SET+) or down (SET-) to the pressure point.

The stored speed is increased or reduced by 1 km/h.

or
Press and hold rocker switch up (SET+)/down (SET-) to the pressure point.

The stored speed is increased or reduced in 1 km/h increments.

or
Push rocker switch beyond the pressure point.

The stored speed is increased or reduced by 10 km/h.

or
Push rocker switch beyond the pressure point and hold.
