The distance warning function on/off but-
ton and thumbwheel for setting distance
are located on the lower part of the front
center console.
Decreasing distance
ahead is sufficient again without applying
the brake pedal. In this case the distance
warning lampl also extinguishes.
Decreasing the distance setting causes
Distronic to maintain a shorter following
distance to the vehicle ahead.

If the Distronic warning lampl in the in-
strument cluster comes on while driving

mediate attention on the part of the driver is
required. As required by the traffic situation,
apply the brakes and navigate around a pos-
sible obstacle. However, do not drive by re-
lying on the distance warning function, as
this will result in an emergency braking ap-
plication. Especially depending on road sur-
face conditions and driver reaction, this will
not always enable you to avoid a collision.
