Selecting the drive program

DISTRONIC Plus supports a sporty driving

style when you have selected the S or M driv-

ing program (Y page 171). Acceleration

behind the vehicle in front or to the set speed

is then noticeably more dynamic. If you have

selected the E driving program, the vehicle

accelerates more gently. This setting is rec-

ommended in stop-and-start traffic.

Changing lanes

If you change to the passing lane, DISTRONIC

PLUS supports you when:

you are driving faster than 45 mph

(70 km/h)

DISTRONIC PLUS is maintaining the dis-

tance to a vehicle in front

you have switched on the corresponding

turn signal

DISTRONIC PLUS does not detect a danger

of collision

If these conditions are fulfilled, your vehicle is

accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted

if changing lanes takes too long or if the dis-

tance between your vehicle and the vehicle in

front becomes too small.

When changing lanes, DISTRONIC PLUS

monitors the left lane on left-hand drive

vehicles and the right lane on right-hand

drive vehicles.

Stopping

WARNING

When leaving the vehicle, even if it is braked

only by DISTRONIC PLUS, it could roll away if:

there is a malfunction in the system or in

the voltage supply.

DISTRONIC PLUS has been deactivated

with the cruise control lever, e.g. by a vehi-

cle occupant or from outside the vehicle.

the electrical system in the engine com-

partment, the battery or the fuses have

been tampered with.

the battery is disconnected.

the accelerator pedal has been depressed,

e.g. by a vehicle occupant.

There is a risk of an accident.

If you wish to exit the vehicle, always turn off

DISTRONIC PLUS and secure the vehicle

against rolling away.

For further information on deactivating

DISTRONIC PLUS (Y page 193).

If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle in

front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it

is stationary.

Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains

stationary and you do not need to depress the

brake.

Depending on the specified minimum dis-

tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill at

a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in

front. The specified minimum distance is set

using the control on the cruise control lever.

When DISTRONIC PLUS is activated, the

transmission is shifted automatically to posi-

tion P if:

the driver's door is open and the driver's

seat belt is unfastened.

the engine is switched off, unless it is auto-

matically switched off by the ECO start/

stop function.

a system malfunction occurs.

the power supply is not sufficient.
