Increasing distance
Driving with Distronic
Distronic regulates only the distance be-
tween your vehicle and those directly ahead
of it, but does not register stationary objects
in the road, e.g.:
Increasing the distance setting tells
Distronic to maintain a greater following
distance to the preceding vehicle.
This section describes a number of driving
situations where special precaution is re-
quired on the part of the driver. Be pre-
pared to brake in such situations. Braking
will deactivate the Distronic system.

Decreasing distance
The driver must always be alert, observe all
traffic and intercede as required by means
of steering or braking the vehicle.
Decreasing the distance setting tells
Distronic to maintain a shorter following
distance to the preceding vehicle.
Distronic works to maintain the speed
selected by the driver unless a moving
obstacle proceeding directly ahead of it in
the same travel direction is detected (e.g.
following another vehicle ahead of you at
your set distance). This means that:

Distronic should not be used in snowy or icy
road conditions.

Your vehicle can pass another vehicle
after you have changed lanes.

While in a sharp turn or if the preceding
vehicle is in a sharp turn, Distronic could
lose sight of the preceding vehicle. Your
vehicle could then accelerate to the
previously selected speed.
