Stopping When DISTRONIC Plus detects that the ve-
hicle in front of you is stopping, the vehicle
brakes until it also stops.
Once DISTRONIC Plus has stopped your
vehicle and it is at a standstill, it remains
stationary; the brake pedal does not need
to be depressed.

and the vehicle can start to roll if
ț DISTRONIC Plus is switched off using
the DISTRONIC Plus lever
ț you accelerate
ț the system or the power supply is mal-
functioning, e.g. due to battery failure
ț the electrical components in the engine
compartment or the fuses have been
manipulated
ț the battery is disconnected

switched off by passengers or from outside
