Mercedes-Benz DISTRONIC PLUS®® is an adaptive cruise control system that is also available with Steering Assist. Although the system is not fully automatic, it can certainly reduce the mental burden that can come with spending long hours behind the wheel. Whether you’re gearing up for a road trip or you’d like to enjoy a more relaxing daily commute, DISTRONIC PLUS®® is well worth a closer look!
Mercedes-Benz DISTRONIC PLUS®® is activated like any cruise control system. However, unlike the kind of cruise control that you might be used to, this system is adaptive. That means that it responds to the presence of other drivers in your lane and adjusts your speed accordingly.
Here’s a closer look at how the feature works on Los Angeles and Pasadena roads:
Although DISTRONIC PLUS®® can be engaged at any time, it’s only recommended for use on highways, where stop-and-go traffic is less likely to occur.
DISTRONIC PLUS®® with Steering Assist is a more advanced version of this feature that not only adjusts your speed, but also keeps you centered in your lane! Although this technology is not fully automatic—and you’ll be required to keep your hands on the wheel at all times—Steering Assist technology automatically detects the lane lines on the road and can move you back toward the center of your lane if you approach one edge or the other.
DISTRONIC PLUS®® with Steering Assist is just one of many features that can make your daily drives safer and more enjoyable. Check out Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® and Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® to learn more about what our lineup has to offer.
