Warning!
G
Use the DISTRONIC menu to display the
current settings for your Distronic system.
The information shown in the multifunction
display depends on whether the Distronic
system is activated or deactivated.
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.
Distronic brakes your vehicle with a maxi-
mum deceleration of 6.5 ft/s2 (2 m/s2). This
corresponds to about 20% of the maximum
deceleration of your vehicle.
i For activating or deactivating the Distronic
system, see “Activating Distronic” (୴ page 268)
or, see “Deactivating Distronic” (୴ page 270).
Distronic brakes the vehicle in an effort to
restore the preset distance or to maintain
the set speed.
For activating or deactivating the Distance warn-
ing function, see “Distance warning function*”
Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times, in-
cluding the area under the brake pedal. Ob-
jects stored in this area may impair pedal
movement which could interfere with the
braking ability of the Distronic system.
(୴ page 186).
Immediately brake the vehicle to increase
your distance to the preceding vehicle. The
warning sound is intended as a final caution
in which you should intercede with your own
braking inputs to avoid a potentially danger-
ous situation. Do not wait for the operation
of the warning signal to intercede with your
own braking. This will result in potentially
dangerous emergency braking which will
not always result in an impact being avoid-
ed.
̈ Press button è or ÿ repeatedly
until one of the following two displays
appears in the multifunction display.
Do not place your foot under the brake pedal
–
your foot could become caught.
Tailgating increases the risk of an accident.
