Driving systems

It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to

be attentive to road, traffic, and weather

conditions and to provide the steering, brak-

ing and other driving inputs necessary to re-

tain control of the vehicle.

Warning!

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. The responsibili-

ty for the vehicle speed and the distance to

the vehicle ahead, including most impor-

tantly brake operation to assure safe stop-

ping distance, always rests with the driver.

Distronic cannot take street and traffic con-

ditions into account.

Warning!

Distronic requires familiarity with its opera-

tional characteristics. We strongly recom-

mend that you review the following

information carefully before operating the

system.
