The vehicle speed displayed on the
speedometer can briefly vary from the speed
setting on the Distronic system.
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.
Tailgating increases the risk of an accident.
G Warning!
When the Distronic detects a vehicle directly
ahead, the cruise control speed
segments;  appear in the speedometer.
These segments represent the difference
between the set speed of your vehicle: and
the speed of the preceding vehicle=.
The Distronic brakes your vehicle with a
maximum deceleration of 6.5 ft/s2 (2 m/s2).
This corresponds to approximately 20% of the
maximum deceleration of your vehicle.
You must also apply the brakes yourself to
avoid a collision. The Distronic brakes the
vehicle in an effort to restore the preset
distance or to maintain the set speed. The
brake pedal is automatically applied as this
happens which results in the brake pedal
moving
If the Distronic calculates that there is a
danger of collision, the distance warning lamp
·
in the instrument cluster comes on and
an intermittent warning sounds.
X Immediately apply the brakes to avoid a
collision.
Under no circumstances should the driver
await the intermittent warning sound
before braking.
The intermittent warning sound ceases and
the distance warning lamp·  goes out
when the necessary distance to the vehicle
ahead is established again.
Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times,
including the area under the brake pedal.
Objects stored in this area may impair pedal
movement which could interfere with the
braking ability of the Distronic system.
Do not place your foot under the brake pedal
your foot could become caught.

G Warning!
Use theDISTRONIC  menu to display the
current settings for your Distronic system.
The information shown in the multifunction
display depends on whether the Distronic
system and/or the distance warning function
are activated or deactivated.
An intermittent warning sounds and the
distance warning lamp· 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.

system, see (Y page 148) or see
