Important safety notes

G

WARNING

DISTRONIC PLUS does not react to:

R

people or animals

R

stationary obstacles on the road, e.g. stop-

ped or parked vehicles

R

oncoming and crossing traffic

As a result, DISTRONIC PLUS may neither give

warnings nor intervene in such situations.

There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-

uation and be ready to brake.

G

WARNING

DISTRONIC PLUS cannot always clearly iden-

tify other road users and complex traffic sit-

uations.

In such cases, DISTRONIC PLUS may:

R

give an unnecessary warning and then

brake the vehicle

R

neither give a warning nor intervene

R

accelerate or brake unexpectedly

There is a risk of an accident.

Continue to drive carefully and be ready to

brake, in particular when warned to do so by

DISTRONIC PLUS.

G

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 automati-

cally in certain situations. To prevent dam-

age to the vehicle, deactivate DISTRONIC

PLUS and the HOLD function in the follow-

ing 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 accel-

erating 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

there is dirt on the sensors or anything else

covering the sensors

R

there is snow or heavy rain

R

there is interference by other radar sources

R

there are strong radar reflections, for

example, in parking garages

If DISTRONIC PLUS no longer detects a vehi-

cle in front, DISTRONIC PLUS may unexpect-
