Complex driving situations are not always fully recognized by the distance warning function. This could result in wrong or missing distance warnings. 1 Symbol for activated distance warning function When the distance warning function is switched on, you will see the : symbol in the Standard display. When the distance warning function is deactivated the : symbol will not appear. G R 63 AMG only: When you turn off the engine, the vehicle may be lowered ( page 288).
