Front passenger airbag warning
&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an enabled co-driver airbag
If the co-driver airbag is activated, a child on
the co-driver seat may be struck by the co-
driver airbag during an accident.
#NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint system on a seat with an ENA-
BLED FRONT AIRBAG. DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

As at 17.11.21

%If you brake, deactivate ESP® or if ESP® inter-
venes, cruise control is deactivated. The varia-
ble limiter is not deactivated.
▌Information on the permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a specic
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
You do this by limiting the speed between
160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys-
tem (/ page 235).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the driver's display. When you conrm
the message, display messages no longer appear
until you switch o the vehicle. The speed will
only be displayed again once the vehicle has been
restarted or if the set speed is changed.
The permanent limiter does not switch to passive
mode even during kickdown and the driven speed
remains below the set speed.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
▌Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freely. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
the distance to the vehicle in front and the set
speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in
front are set and saved using the steering wheel.
Available speed range:
RVehicles without Driving Assistance Package:
20 km/h - 160 km/h
RVehicles with Driving Assistance Package:
20 km/h - 210 km/h
%The adjustable set speed may dier if a limit
speed (e.g. winter tyre limit) (/ page 235) is
stored.
%If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is active
and the range monitor recommends a lower
driving speed, this is automatically adopted as
the new set speed. If necessary, the setting
speed can be increased again manually.
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
RAdjusts the driving style depending on the
selected drive program (energy-saving, com-
fortable or dynamic) (/ page 192)
RInitiates acceleration to the stored speed if the
turn signal indicator is switched on to change
to the overtaking lane
RVehicles with Driving Assistance Package:
-Reacts to stationary vehicles detected in
urban speed ranges (except bicycles and
motorcycles)
Driving and parking 235

-Takes one-sided overtaking restrictions
into account on motorways or on multi-
lane roads with separate carriageways
(country-dependent)
%In the DYNAMIC SELECT menu, it is possible
to set the driving mode of the Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC. Depending on which drive
program is selected, the driving characteris-
tics can be geared towards energy economy,
comfort or dynamic performance. In the
Active Distance Assist menu, the driving style
can be permanently set to Comfort or
Dynamic (/ page 242).
Vehicles with Active Parking Assist and Driving
Assistance Package: if Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC has braked the vehicle to a standstill,
it can automatically follow the vehicle in front
when driving o again within 30 seconds. If a criti-
cal situation is detected in the surrounding area
when driving o,such as a person in the vehicle
path, a visual and acoustic warning is given indi-
cating that the driver must now take control of the
vehicle. The vehicle is not accelerated any further.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (/ page 221).

DISTRONIC, the system is switched to passive
mode. The following message appears briey
in the driver's display ç suspended.
System limits
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations,for example:
RIn snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare,
in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light
conditions.
RThe windscreen in the area of the camera is
dirty, misted up, damaged or covered.
RIf the radar sensors are dirty or covered.
RIn multi-storey car parks or on roads with
steep uphill or downhill gradients.
RIf there are narrow vehicles in front, such as
bicycles or motorcycles.
In addition, on slippery roads, braking or acceler-
ating can cause one or several wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle could then skid.
Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in
these situations.
&WARNING Risk of accident from accelera-
tion or braking by Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may accel-
erate or brake in the following cases, for
example:
RIf the vehicle pulls away using Active Dis-
tance Assist DISTRONIC.
RIf the stored speed is called up and is con-
siderably faster or slower than the cur-
rently driven speed.
RIf Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no
longer detects a vehicle in front or does
not react to relevant objects.
#Always carefully observe the trac con-
ditions and be ready to brake at all
times.
#Take into account the trac situation
before calling up the stored speed.
&WARNING Risk of accident due to insu-
cient deceleration by Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes your
vehicle with up to 50% of the possible deceler-
ation. If this deceleration is not sucient,
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC alerts you
with a visual and acoustic warning.
#Adjust your speed and maintain a suita-
ble distance from the vehicle in front.
#Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
evasive action.
&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:
Rwhen driving on a dierent lane or when
changing lanes
Driving and parking 237

Rto pedestrians, animals, bicycles or sta-
tionary vehicles, or unexpected obstacles
Rto complex trac conditions
Rto oncoming vehicles and crossing trac
As a result, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
may neither give warnings nor intervene in
such situations.
#Always observe the trac conditions
carefully and react accordingly.

Deactivating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC or
the variable limiter
&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 ±.
%If you brake, deactivate ESP® or if ESP® inter-
venes, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is
deactivated. The variable limiter is not deacti-
vated.
▌Function of Active Speed Limit Assist
If a change in the speed limit of 20 km/h or more
is detected and automatic adoption of speed lim-
its is activated, the new speed limit is automati-
cally adopted as the stored speed (/ page 242).
The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is
level with the trac sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adapted according to the speed permit-
ted within the urban area. The speed limit display
in the driver's display is always updated when the
vehicle is level with the trac sign.
If you are driving on German motorways and there
is no speed limit, the system uses the speed
stored for a stretch of road with no speed limit as
the set speed. If you do not alter the stored speed
on a stretch of road with no speed limit, the rec-
ommended speed of 130 km/h is adopted.
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adopted.
The maximum permissible speed does not take
the road condition and current weather and trac
conditions into account. Adjust your speed
accordingly, when necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (/ page 221).
System limits
The system limits of Trac Sign Assist apply to
the detection of trac signs (/ page 256).
Speed limits below 20 km/h are not automatically
adopted by the system as the stored speed. Tem-
porary speed restrictions (e.g. for a certain time
or due to weather conditions) cannot be properly
detected by the system. The maximum permissi-
ble speed applying to a vehicle with a trailer is not
detected by the system.
Adjust the speed in these situations.
240 Driving and parking

&WARNING Risk of accident due to Active
Speed Limit Assist adapting the vehicle's
speed
The speed adopted by Active Speed Limit
Assist may be too high or incorrect in some
individual cases, such as:
Rat speed limits below 20 km/h
Rin wet conditions or in fog
Rwhen towing a trailer
#Ensure that the driven speed complies
with trac regulations.
#Adjust the driving speed to suit current
trac and weather conditions.
▌Function of route-based speed adaptation
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activa-
ted, the vehicle speed will be adapted accordingly
to the route events ahead. Depending on the drive
program selected, the vehicle negotiates a route
event ahead in an energy-saving, comfortable or
dynamic manner. When the route event has been
passed, the vehicle accelerates again to the
stored speed. The set distance to the vehicle in
front, vehicles detected ahead and speed restric-
tions ahead are taken into account.
Route-based speed adaptation can be activated in
the multimedia system (/ page 242).
The following route events are taken into account:
RBends
RRoundabouts
RT-junctions
RTurns and exits
RTrac jams ahead (only with Live Trac )
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi-
cator is switched on and one of the following sit-
uations is detected:
RTurning at junctions
RDriving on slowing-down lanes
RDriving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down
lanes
The driver is responsible for choosing the right
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular to junctions, roundabouts and
trac lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
If a corresponding route event is detected while
route guidance is active, the rst speed adjust-
ment is carried out automatically. If the turn signal
indicator is switched on, the selected route is
conrmed and further speed adjustment is activa-
ted.
Speed adaptation is cancelled in the following
cases:
RIf the turn signal indicator is switched o
before the route event and it is therefore
assumed that the route event is not relevant
to the driver.
RIf the driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
System limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is
responsible for complying with road trac regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.
Driving and parking 241

In dicult conditions, the speed selection made
by the system may not always be suitable. This
applies to the following situations, forexample:
Rthe road's course not clearly visible
RRoad narrowing
Rvarying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
vidual lanes, forexample at toll stations
Rwet road surfaces, snow or ice
RIf transport equipment, forexample a trailer or
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch
and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established.
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.
&WARNING Risk of accident in spite of
route-based speed adaptation
Route-based speed adaptation can malfunc-
tion or be temporarily unavailable in the fol-
lowing situations:
RIf the driver does not follow the calculated
route
RIf map data is not up-to-date or available
RIn the event of roadworks
RIn bad weather or road conditions
RIf the accelerator pedal is depressed
RIn the event of electronically displayed
speed limitations
#Adapt the speed to the trac situation.

▌Function of Active Stop-and-Go Assist
Active Stop-and-Go Assist helps you when in traf-
fic jams on multi-lane roads with separate carria-
geways by automatically pulling away within up to
60 seconds and with moderate steering manoeu-
vres. It orients itself using the vehicle in front and
lane markings. Active Stop-and-Go Assist auto-
matically maintains a safe distance from the vehi-
cle in front and vehicles cutting in.
