Controls in detail Driving systems Narrow vehicles Obstacles and stationary vehicles Cross-traffic Because of their narrow profile, the vehicles traveling near the outer edge of the lane have not yet been detected by DISTRONIC Plus. There will be insufficient distance to the vehicles ahead. DISTRONIC Plus does not brake for obstacles or stationary vehicles. If, for example, the vehicle detected in front of you changes lanes to bypass an obstacle or stationary vehicle in front of it, DISTRONIC Plus will not brake for the obstacle or stationary vehicle. DISTRONIC Plus may inadvertently detect crossing vehicles. If you switch on DISTRONIC Plus, for example, at a traffic light with cross-traffic, the vehicle may suddenly start to drive off. 428
