Use of Distronic can be dangerous on slip-
pery roads. Rapid changes in tire traction
can result in wheel spin and loss of control.
Distronic cannot take weather conditions
into account. Switch off Distronic or do not
switch it on if:
Close attention to road and traffic condi-
tions is imperative at all times, regardless of
whether or not Distronic is activated.
Distronic does not act upon adverse sight
distance conditions. Do not use Distronic
during conditions of fog, heavy rain, snow or
sleet.
ț
roads are slippery or covered with snow
or ice
Use of Distronic can be dangerous on wind-
ing roads or in heavy traffic because condi-
tions do not allow safe driving at a constant
speed.
The wheels could lose traction while
braking or accelerating and the vehicle
could skid.
Distronic will not react to stationary objects
on the roadway (e.g. a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle). Distronic
will also not respond to oncoming vehicles.
ț
the sensor is dirty or visibility is dimin-
ished due to snow, rain or fog for exam-
ple
୴୴
The distance control system functional-
ity could be impaired.
Always pay attention to surrounding traffic
conditions even while Distronic is switched
on. Otherwise, you may not be able to recog-
nize dangerous situations until it is too late.
This could cause an accident in which you
and/or others could be injured.
