Pulling away

If the vehicle in front pulls away: remove
your foot from the brake pedal.

Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards
you
?
.
or
X
Accelerate briefly.
Your vehicle pulls away and adapts its
speed to that of the vehicle in front.
Driving
If there is no vehicle in front, DISTRONIC
PLUS operates in the same way as cruise
control.
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle
in front has slowed down, it brakes your vehi-
cle. In this way, the distance you have selec-
ted is maintained.
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle
in front is driving faster, it accelerates your
vehicle, but only up to the speed you have
stored.
Changing lanes
If you change to the overtaking lane, DIS-
TRONIC PLUS supports you if:
R
you are driving faster than 60 km/h
R
DISTRONIC PLUS is maintaining the dis-
tance to a vehicle in front
R
you switch on the respective turn signal
R
DISTRONIC PLUS does not detect a danger
of collision
If these conditions are met, your vehicle is
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted
if changing lanes takes too long or if the dis-
tance between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front becomes too small.
i
When you change lanes, DISTRONIC
PLUS monitors the left lane for left-hand-
drive vehicles and the right lane for right-
hand-drive vehicles.

The following function is not operational
in all countries.
DISTRONIC PLUS uses additional information
from your navigation system so that it can
adapt to certain traffic situations. This is the
case if, while following a vehicle, DISTRONIC
PLUS is active and you:
R
approach or drive around a roundabout
R
approach a T-junction
R
turn off at a motorway exit
Even if the vehicle in front leaves the detec-
tion range, DISTRONIC PLUS temporarily
maintains the current driving speed and does
not accelerate. This is based on the current
map data in the navigation system.
Example: roundabout
The current speed is maintained:
R
approximately ten seconds before the
roundabout/T-junction and for approx-
imately 1.5 seconds when driving on the
roundabout
R
approximately twelve seconds before
reaching a motorway exit and approx-
imately four seconds after the motorway
exit
Afterwards, the vehicle accelerates back to
the set speed you specified.
