WARNING

DISTRONIC PLUS brakes your vehicle with up

to 50% of the maximum possible deceleration.

If this braking force is insufficient, DISTRONIC

PLUS warns you visually and audibly. There is

a risk of an accident.

In such cases, apply the brakes yourself and

try to take evasive action.

!

If DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD function

is activated, the vehicle brakes

automatically in certain situations. To

prevent damage to the vehicle, deactivate

DISTRONIC PLUS and the HOLD function in

the following or other similar situations:

R

when towing the vehicle

R

in the car wash

If you fail to adapt your driving style,

DISTRONIC PLUS can neither reduce the risk

of accident nor override the laws of physics.

DISTRONIC PLUS cannot take into account

the road, traffic and weather conditions.

DISTRONIC PLUS 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.

Do not use DISTRONIC PLUS:

R

in road and traffic conditions which do not

allow you to maintain a constant speed e.g.

in heavy traffic or on winding roads

R

on slippery road surfaces. Braking or

accelerating could cause the drive wheels

to lose traction and the vehicle could then

skid

R

when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog,

heavy rain or snow

DISTRONIC PLUS may not detect narrow

vehicles driving in front, e.g. motorcycles, or

vehicles driving on a different line.

In particular, the detection of obstacles can

be impaired if:

R

dirt on the sensors or anything else

covering the sensors

R

snow or heavy rain

R

interference by other radar sources

R

strong radar reflections, for example, in

parking garages

If DISTRONIC PLUS no longer detects a

vehicle in front, DISTRONIC PLUS may

unexpectedly accelerate the vehicle to the

stored speed.

This speed may:

R

be too high if you are driving in a filter lane

or an exit lane

R

be so high in the right lane that you pass

vehicles driving on the left (left-hand drive

countries)

R

be so high in the left lane that you pass

vehicles driving on the right (right-hand

drive countries)

If there is a change of drivers, advise the new

driver of the speed stored.
