Drive Assist systems, general 

The Drive Assist systems support the driver in various situations in accordance with their configuration either actively or passively. In both cases, the Drive Assist systems contribute to driving safety. This helps to reduce the frequency of accidents and their consequences. Ride comfort is also enhanced.

CRUISE CONTROL (except Model 463.342) 

The cruise control constantly adjusts the actual speed of the vehicle without operation of the accelerator pedal to the target speed set by the driver. The vehicle is also automatically braked through active intervention by the brake system when driving down a hill to maintain the target speed.

DISTRONIC (with code EZ9 (DISTRONIC PLUS)) 

DISTRONIC regulates the speed and the distance to the vehicle immediately ahead automatically to match the driver's commands, by braking when necessary and accelerating again, where possible.

Distance and speed control is performed by the radar sensors control unit. To do this, the DISTRONIC intervenes actively in the engine management or in the brake system.

Blind Spot Assist (with code EA2 (Blind Spot Assist)) 

The Blind Spot Assist monitors the rear and side areas of the vehicle using short range radar and, if necessary, informs the driver that an intentional lane change (turn signal active) is not recommended at this time. Blind Spot Assist also acts as an extension of the inside rear-view and outside mirrors. It does not release the driver of his/her obligation to perform lane changes safely on his/her own responsibility.
