When activated, the Distronic adaptive
cruise control system increases the driving
convenience afforded by the cruise control
while traveling on expressways and other
major roadways.
Warning!
G
Distronic is a convenience system. Its speed
adjustment reduction capability is intended
to make cruise control more effective and
usable when traffic speeds vary. It is not
however, intended to, nor does it, replace
the need for extreme care. The responsibili-
ty for the vehicle’s speed, distance to the
preceding vehicle and, most importantly,
brake operation to ensure a safe stopping
distance, always remains with the driver.
The set speed stored in memory should only
be set again if prevailing road conditions
permit. Possible acceleration or decelera-
tion differences arising from returning to the
preset speed could cause an accident
and/or serious injury to you and others.
ț
If the Distronic distance sensor detects
a slower moving vehicle directly ahead,
your vehicle speed will be reduced so
that you follow that vehicle at your
preset following distance.
̈
Briefly pull the cruise control lever in di-
rection of arrow 4 (୴ page 258).
ț
If there is no vehicle directly ahead of
you, Distronic will function in the same
way as standard cruise control
Distronic cannot take road and traffic condi-
tions into account.
The cruise control resumes to the last
set speed, or if no speed is stored, it
will set and store the current speed.
Complex driving situations are not always
fully recognized by Distronic. This could
result in wrong or missing distance
warnings.

̈
Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
The last set speed appears in the multi-
function display for approximately
5
seconds.
