mit. Possible acceleration or deceleration
differences arising from returning to the pre-

Distronic adaptive cruise control is no sub-
stitute for active driving involvement. It does
not react to stationary objects, nor recog-
nize or predict the curvature and lane layout
or the movement of vehicles ahead. Distron-
ic can only apply a maximum of 20% of the
vehicle’s braking power.
The selected speed appears in the mul-
tifunction display.
