General notes
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with Active
Steering Assist aids you in keeping the vehicle
in the center of the driving lane by means of
moderate steering interventions in a speed
range from 0 - 125 mph (0 - 200 km/h).
It monitors lane markings and vehicles in front
of your vehicle by means of camera system :
at the top of the windshield.
In a speed range from 0 - 37 mph
(0 - 60 km/h), Active Steering Assist focuses
on the vehicle in front, taking into account
lane markings, e.g. when following vehicles in
a traffic jam.
At speeds of more than 37 mph (60 km/h),
Active Steering Assist focuses on clear lane
markings (left and right), only focusing on the
vehicle in front if detected lane markings are
not present at speeds of up to 80 mph
(130 km/h).
If these conditions are not present, Active
Steering Assist cannot provide assistance.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC must be
active in order for the function to be available.
Important safety notes
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with Active
Steering Assist can neither reduce the risk of
an accident if you fail to adapt your driving
style, nor override the laws of physics. It can-
not take into account road, weather or traffic
conditions. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
with Active Steering Assist is only an aid. You
are responsible for the distance to the vehicle
in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good
time and for staying in your lane.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with Active
Steering Assist does not detect road and traf-
fic conditions and does not detect all road
users. If you are following a vehicle which is
driving towards the edge of the road, your
vehicle could come into contact with the curb
or other road boundaries. Be particularly
aware of other road users, e.g. cyclists, that
are directly next to your vehicle.
Obstacles such as traffic pylons on the lane or
projecting into the lane are not detected.
An inappropriate steering intervention, e.g.
after intentionally driving over a lane marking,
can be corrected at any time if you steer
slightly in the opposite direction.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with Active
Steering Assist cannot continuously keep your
vehicle in lane. In some cases, the steering
intervention is not sufficient to bring the vehi-
cle back to the lane. In such cases, you must
steer the vehicle yourself to ensure that it
does not leave the lane.
