Driving with Distronic

This section describes a number of driving

situations where special precaution is re-

quired on the part of the driver. Be pre-

pared to brake in such situations. This will

deactivate the Distronic system.

Warning! G

Distronic works to maintain the speed se-

lected by the driver unless a moving obsta-

cle proceeding directly ahead of it in the

same travel direction is detected (e.g. fol-

lowing another vehicle ahead of you at a dis-

tance set by Distronic). This means that:

앫 Your vehicle can pass another vehicle

after you change lanes

앫 While in a sharp turn or if the vehicle in

front is in a sharp turn, Distronic could

lose sight of a vehicle traveling in front

of it, then your vehicle could accelerate

to the previously selected speed.

Distronic regulates only the distance be-

tween your vehicle and those directly ahead

of it, but does not register stationary objects

in the road, e.g.:

앫 A stopped vehicle in a traffic jam

앫 A disabled vehicle

앫 An oncoming vehicle

The driver must always be on the alert, ob-

serve all traffic and intercede as required by

steering or braking the vehicle.

Warning! G

Distronic should not be used in snowy or icy

road conditions.
