Narrow vehicles
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has not yet
detected the vehicle in front on the edge of the
road because of its narrow width. The distance
to the vehicle in front will be too short.
Obstructions and stationary vehicles
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC does not
brake for obstacles or stationary vehicles. If, for
example, the detected vehicle turns a corner
and an obstacle or stationary vehicle is revealed,
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC will not brake
for them.
Crossing vehicles
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may mistak-
enly detect vehicles that are crossing your lane.
Activating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC at,
for example, a traffic light with crossing traffic
could cause your vehicle to pull away at the
wrong time.
HOLD
General notes
The HOLD function can assist the driver in the
following situations:
R

R
when waiting in traffic

having to depress the brake pedal.
The braking effect is canceled and the HOLD
function deactivated when you depress the
accelerator pedal to pull away.
