Activating Distronic

You can activate Distronic if

앫 you are driving between 25 mph

(40 km/h) and 110 mph (180 km/h)

앫 the ESP is activated (컄 page 79)

If Distronic has not been activated after

pressing the cruise control lever you will

see the message

in the multifunction

display.

In the following cases you cannot activate

Distronic:

앫 up to two minutes after starting the en-

gine.

앫 when you brake.

앫 if you have set the parking brake.

앫 if the gear selector lever is in

position P, R or N.

앫 if ESP is switched off.

Setting the current speed

왘 Accelerate or decelerate to the desired

speed.

왘 Briefly lift or depress the cruise control

lever.

Distronic is activated and the current

speed is set.

왘 Remove your foot from the accelerator

pedal.

Setting a higher speed

왘 Briefly tip cruise control lever in the di-

rection of arrow 1 (

컄 page 233) to in-

crease vehicle speed in increments of

5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h).

The new speed is set.

The stored speed is displayed in the

multifunction display for approximately

five seconds (

컄 page 233), and one or

two segments around the stored speed

come on, on the speedometer

(

컄 page 231).

If you do not take your foot off of the

accelerator completely, the following

message will appear in the multifunc-

tion display:

Distronic override

.

Distronic will not work to maintain the

distance to slower moving vehicles in

front of you. Your vehicle speed will

then be determined only by the accel-

erator pedal position.

i

Depressing the accelerator pedal does

not deactivate Distronic. After brief ac-

celeration (e.g. for passing), the cruise

control will resume the last speed set.
