G
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.
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.
̈
Briefly press the cruise control lever
down past the resistance point in
direction of arrow 2.

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.

moment until the vehicle has reached the set
speed.

set speed or, if no speed is stored, it
will set and store the current speed.
If there is no vehicle directly ahead of
you, Distronic will function in the same
way as standard cruise control
