Afterwards, the vehicle accelerates back to
the speed you set.
The system takes into account the fact that
overtaking on the right is not permitted on
motorways or high-speed major roads at
speeds above 80 km/h. The driving speed is
adjusted to the speed of the queue of vehicles
in the adjacent lane to the left.
i
Prevention of overtaking on the right
applies to countries where traffic drives on
the right. In countries where traffic drives
on the left, overtaking on the left is preven-
ted accordingly.
Stopping

WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, even if it is braked
only by DISTRONIC PLUS, it could roll away if:
R
there is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
R
DISTRONIC PLUS has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e.g. by a vehi-
cle occupant or from outside the vehicle.
R
the electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses have
been tampered with.
R
the battery is disconnected.
R
the accelerator pedal has been depressed,
e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
There is a risk of an accident.
If you wish to exit the vehicle, always turn off
DISTRONIC PLUS and secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
For further information on deactivating DIS-
TRONIC PLUS (
Y
page 235).
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle
in front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until
it is stationary.
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress the
brake.
After a short period the vehicle is secured by
the electric parking brake, thus relieving the
service brake.
Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill at
a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever.
The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if DISTRONIC PLUS is activated
and:
R
the seat belt is unfastened and the driver's
door is open
R
the engine is switched off, unless it is auto-
matically switched off by the ECO start/
stop function
R
a system fault occurs
R
the power supply is not sufficient
If a fault occurs, then the transmission may
also be shifted into position P automatically.
