Immediately brake the vehicle to avoid
a collision.
Warning!
G
Under no circumstances should the
driver await the intermittent warning
sound before braking. See the follow-
ing warning note.
An intermittent warning sounds and the
distance warning lamp l in the instru-
ment cluster is illuminated if the Distronic
system calculates that the distance to the
vehicle ahead and your vehicle’s current
speed indicate that Distronic will not be ca-
pable of slowing the vehicle sufficiently to
maintain the preset following distance,
which creates a danger of a collision.
The intermittent warning sound ceases
and the red distance warning
lamp l goes out when the neces-
sary distance to the vehicle ahead is
again established.

Segments
If Distronic detects a vehicle directly
ahead, the segments (representing the
difference) from the speed of the vehicle
ahead to the set speed come on.
Immediately brake the vehicle to increase
the distance to the vehicle in front of you.
The warning sound is intended as a final cau-
tion that you have not interceded with your
own braking inputs to avoid a potentially
dangerous situation. Do not wait for the op-
eration of the warning signal to intercede
with your own braking, as that will result in
potentially dangerous emergency braking
which will not always result in an impact be-
ing avoided.
If Distronic calculates that there is a dan-
ger of collision:
ț
The distance warning lamp l in the
instrument cluster comes on red.
ț
An intermittent warning sounds.
Tailgating increases the risk of an accident.
