the Distronic. This could result in wrong or
missing distance warnings.
The Distronic requires familiarity with its
operational characteristics. We strongly
recommend that you review the following
information carefully before operating the
system.

operates in the same way as cruise control in
the speed range between 20 mph
(30

is a vehicle in front, DISTRONIC operates in
the speed range between 0 mph (0 km/h) and
120
mph (200 km/h).
Do not use DISTRONIC while driving on roads
with steep gradients.
G Warning
DISTRONIC distance control is not a
substitute for the driver's active involvement.
It does not react to pedestrians or stationary
objects and cannot detect or predict the
road's course and the movements of the
vehicles in front.
G Warning
When DISTRONIC brakes, the brake pedal is
pulled back (i.e. operated automatically). The
area around the pedal must not be blocked by
obstacles:
DISTRONIC can only brake using 40% of the
vehicle's maximum possible braking force.
Rdo not place any objects in the footwell.
Rensure that floormats and carpets are fixed
securely. In particular, do not place several
floormats on top of one another.
The driver must always pay attention to road,
weather and traffic conditions. He must steer,
brake and drive the vehicle so that he
maintains control over it.
Rdo not place your foot under the brake
pedal, as it could become trapped.
High-frequency sources such as toll stations,
velocity measurement systems, etc. may
cause DISTRONIC to malfunction.
Non-compliance could lead you to cause an
accident in which you and/or others could be
seriously injured.

G Warning!
The Distronic cannot take road and traffic
conditions into account. Only use the
Distronic if the road, weather and traffic
conditions make it advisable to travel at a
constant speed.
The Distronic is a convenience system. Its
speed adjustment reduction capability is
intended to make cruise control more
effective and usable when traffic speeds vary.
It is not however, intended to, nor does it,
replace the need for extreme care.
G Warning!
Use of the Distronic can be dangerous on
slippery roads. Rapid changes in tire traction
can result in wheel spin and loss of control.
The responsibility for the vehicle’s speed,
distance to the preceding vehicle and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure a safe
stopping distance, always remains with the
driver.
The Distronic does not function in adverse
sight and distance conditions. Do not use the
Distronic during conditions of fog, heavy rain,
snow or sleet.
The Distronic cannot take street and traffic
conditions into account. Complex driving
situations are not always fully recognized by
