Under 20 mph, you can only switch on
DISTRONIC Plus if the vehicle ahead of you has
been detected and is shown on the multifunction
display. If you no longer see the vehicle in front
of you on the multifunction display and if it is no
longer detected because it has changed lanes,
for example, DISTRONIC Plus switches off and
you will hear a signal.
i
If you do not completely lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal, the message“DISTRONIC
PLUS override” appears on the multifunction dis-
play. The distance to a slower-driving vehicle will
not be set. You will drive at the speed you dictate
by pressing the accelerator pedal.

display in the instrument cluster (

since you can only switch on DISTRONIC Plus un-
der a speed of 20 mph when a vehicle has been
detected in front of you.

You can adjust the set speed using the
DISTRONIC Plus lever and the target distance
using the distance setting switch on the
DISTRONIC Plus lever (
