Warning!

Distronic is designed and intended only to
maintain a set speed and keep a set dis-
tance from moving objects in front of it.
̈
Immediately brake the vehicle to avoid
a collision.
Close attention to road and traffic condi-
tions is imperative at all times, regardless of
whether or not Distronic is activated.
Under no circumstances should the
driver await the intermittent warning
sound before braking. See the follow-
ing warning note.
Warning!
G
Use of Distronic can be dangerous on wind-
ing roads or in heavy traffic because condi-
tions do not allow safe driving at a steady
speed.
The “Resume” function should only be oper-
ated if the driver is fully aware of the previ-
ously set speed and wishes to resume this
particular preset speed.
The intermittent warning sound ceases
and the red DTR warning lamp E
goes out when the necessary distance
to the vehicle ahead is again estab-
lished.
Distronic will not react to stationary objects
in the roadway (e.g. a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle). Distronic
will also not respond to oncoming vehicles.
