Activate or deactivate the function using this button in the center display’s Function view.
Distance Alert is automatically activated each time the engine is started.
Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist use approx. 40% of the braking capacity. If a situation requires more braking force than driver support can provide, and if the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning light and audible warning signal will be activated to alert the driver that immediate action is required.
The driver support system only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, a warning may come after a delay or not at all. Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary.
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking straight ahead.
The function uses the vehicle’s camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.
When the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset value, a symbol will be shown in the head-up display. For this to be possible, however, the Show Driver Support function must be activated under settings in the vehicle’s menu system.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts for vehicles ahead moving in the same direction as your vehicle. No distance information is provided for oncoming, slow-moving or stationary vehicles.
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking straight ahead.
Distance Alert is deactivated while Adaptive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist* is active.
Distance Alert only reacts if the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset value – vehicle speed is not affected.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel as 1–5 horizontal bars. The more bars, the longer the time interval. One bar represents an interval of approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 bars represents approx. 3 seconds.
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, Pilot Assist is following a vehicle ahead at a preset time interval.
When only a steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows two vehicles, the Adaptive Cruise Control is following the vehicle ahead at a preset time interval.
When only one vehicle is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the current time interval.
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possible, Adaptive Cruise Control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situations. At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, Adaptive Cruise Control increases the time interval slightly.
