The intermittent warning sound ceases and
the distance warning lampl goes out
when the necessary distance to the vehicle
ahead is established again.
G Warning!
The Distronic brakes your vehicle with a
maximum deceleration of 6.5 ft/s2
(2
m/s2). This corresponds to
G Warning!
approximately 20% of the maximum
deceleration of your vehicle.
The Distronic brakes the vehicle in an effort
to restore the preset distance or to
maintain the set speed.
An intermittent warning sounds and the
distance warning lampl in the
instrument cluster is illuminated if the
Distronic system calculates that the
distance to the vehicle ahead and your
vehicle’s current speed indicate that the
Distronic will not be capable of slowing the
vehicle sufficiently to maintain the preset
following distance, which creates a danger
of a collision.
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
dangerous 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 avoided.
