Tips for driving with DISTRONIC PLUS
General notes
Pay particular attention in the following traffic
situations:
R
Cornering, going into and coming out of a
bend
R
Vehicles which are not driving in the middle
of their lane
R
Other vehicles changing lane
R
Narrow vehicles
R
Obstructions and stationary vehicles
R
Crossing vehicles
In such situations, brake if necessary. DIS-
TRONIC PLUS is then deactivated.
Cornering, going into and coming out of a
bend
The ability of DISTRONIC PLUS to detect vehi-
cles when cornering is limited. Your vehicle
may brake unexpectedly or late.
Vehicles which are not driving in the mid-
dle of their lane
DISTRONIC PLUS may not detect vehicles
which are not driving in the middle of their
lane. The distance to the vehicle in front is too
small.
Other vehicles changing lane
DISTRONIC PLUS has not detected the vehi-
cle cutting in yet. The distance to this vehicle
is too small.
Narrow vehicles
DISTRONIC PLUS has not yet detected the
vehicle in front on the edge of the carriage-
way, because of its narrow width. The dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is too small.
