Lane changing

Distronic has not yet detected the vehicle
changing lanes. There will be insufficient
distance to the lane-changing vehicle.

Narrow vehicles

Because of their narrow profile, the vehi-
cles traveling near the outer edges of the
lane have not yet been detected by
Distronic. There will be insufficient
distance to the vehicles ahead.

Distance warning function*
(Canada only)

When Distronic* is deactivated, this
function will continue to warn you when
recognizing a stationary obstacle or a
slower vehicle moving in your vehicle’s
path and the danger of a collision exists:

ț

The distance warning lamp

l in the

instrument cluster comes on.

ț

An intermittent warning will sound if
necessary.

If these warnings are issued, you must
brake manually to maintain a safe distance
and avoid a collision with the preceding
vehicle.

When pressing the brake pedal, the warn-
ing sound ceases. The warning sound will
also cease when the distance to the
preceding vehicle is sufficient again with-
out applying the brakes. In this case, the
distance warning lamp will also go out.
