Tips for driving with Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC
General notes
Pay particular attention in the following traffic
situations:
R
Cornering, entering and exiting a bend: the
ability of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC to
detect vehicles on bends is limited. Your vehi-
cle may brake unexpectedly or late.
R
Vehicles driving in a staggered formation:
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may not
detect vehicles that are not driving in the mid-
dle of their lanes. The distance to the vehicle
in front will be too short.
R
Other vehicles changing lane: Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC has not detected the vehi-
cle cutting in yet. The distance to this vehicle
will be too short.
R
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.
R
Obstacles and stationary vehicles: Active Dis-
tance Assist DISTRONIC does not brake for
