can only activate DISTRONIC PLUS if the vehi-

cle in front has been detected and is shown

in the multifunction display. If the vehicle in

front is no longer detected and displayed,

DISTRONIC PLUS switches off and you will

hear a tone.

up : or down A until the desired speed

is set.

pedal.

vehicle in front, but only up to the desired

stored speed.

pedal, the DISTRONIC PLUS inactive

message appears in the multifunction dis-

play. The set distance to a slower-moving

vehicle in front will then not be maintained.
