Permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a specific
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
You do this by limiting the speed to a value
between 160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multi‐
media system (/ page 219).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the driver's display. When you con‐
firm the message, display messages no longer
appear until you switch off the vehicle. The
speed will only be displayed again once the vehi‐
cle has been restarted or if the set speed is
changed.
The permanent limiter does not switch to pas‐
sive mode even during kickdown and the driven
speed remains below the set speed.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles in
front are detected, the set distance is main‐
tained, if necessary, until the vehicle comes to a
halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depend‐
ing on the distance to the vehicle in front and
the set speed. The speed and distance to the
vehicle in front are set and saved on the steering
wheel on vehicles without the Driving Assistance
Package, in the range between 20 km/h and
200 km/h and, on vehicles with the Driving
Assistance Package, in the range between
20 km/h and 210 km/h.
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
R
Adjusts the driving style depending on the
selected drive program (fuel-saving, comfort‐
able or dynamic) (/ page 184)
R
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: reacts to stationary vehicles detected
(except bicycles and motorcycles)
R
Initiates acceleration to the stored speed if
the turn signal indicator is switched on to
change to the overtaking lane
R
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: takes one-sided overtaking restrictions
into account on motorways or on multi-lane
roads with separate carriageways (country-
dependent)
Vehicles with Active Parking Assist and Driv‐
ing Assistance Package: if the vehicle has
been braked to a standstill by Active Distance
Assist DISTRONIC, it can automatically follow
the vehicle in front driving off again within 30
seconds. If a critical situation is detected when
driving off, a visual and acoustic warning is given
indicating that the driver must now take control
of the vehicle. The vehicle is not accelerated any
further.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers (/ page 203).
