The selected speed appears in the multi-
function display for approximately
5 seconds, and the corresponding speed-
ometer segments from the selected speed
to the vehicle maximum speed are illumi-
nated.

Distronic*

When activated, the Distronic adaptive
cruise control system increases driving
convenience afforded by the cruise control
during travel on expressways and other
major roads.

If the Distronic distance sensor detects
a slower moving vehicle directly ahead,
your vehicle speed will be reduced so
that you follow that vehicle at a preset
distance.

If there is no vehicle directly ahead of
you, Distronic will function in the same
way as cruise control (

page 216).

Warning!

The speed stored in memory should only be

set again if prevailing road conditions per-

mit. Possible acceleration or deceleration

differences arising from returning to the pre-

set speed could cause an accident and/or

serious injury to you and others.

Warning!

Distronic adaptive cruise control is no sub-

stitute for active driving involvement. It does

not react to stationary objects, nor recog-

nize or predict the curvature and lane layout

or the movement of vehicles ahead.

Distronic can only apply a maximum of 20%

of the vehicle’s braking power.
