Driving systems
̈ Briefly pull the cruise control lever in
the direction of arrow
4 ( ୴ page 447).
The cruise control resumes to the last
set speed or if no speed is stored, it will
set and store the current speed.
̈ Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
The last set speed appears in the multi-
function display for approximately
5 seconds, and the corresponding
speedometer segments from the se-
lected speed to the vehicle maximum
speed are illuminated.
DISTRONIC Plus*
When activated, the DISTRONIC Plus adap-
tive cruise control system increases driv-
ing convenience afforded by the cruise
control during travel on expressways and
other major roadways.
ț If the DISTRONIC Plus distance sensor
detects a slower moving vehicle direct-
ly ahead, your vehicle speed will be re-
duced so that you follow that vehicle at
a preset distance.
ț If there is no vehicle directly ahead of
you, DISTRONIC Plus will function in
the same way as the cruise control
(
୴ page 446).
DISTRONIC Plus functions within a speed
range of 0 to 120 mph
(Canada: 0 to 200 km/h).
When travelling in Canada in a vehicle not
registered in Canada, you must switch off
the radar sensor system. Canadian law
does not permit the use of the radar sensor
system for vehicles from outside of Cana-
da. When you switch off the radar sensor
system, the following functions are deacti-
vated:
ț BAS Plus* ( ୴ page 70)
ț PRE-SAFE ® Brake* ( ୴ page 77)
ț DISTRONIC Plus* ( ୴ page 451)

ț Advanced Parking Guidance*
(

ț Blind Spot Assist* ( ୴ page 495)
i The last stored set speed is deleted when
the engine is turned off.
