The “Resume” function should only be
operated if the driver is fully aware of the
previously set speed and wishes to resume
this particular preset speed.
G
Warning!
Close attention to road and traffic condi-
tions is imperative at all times, regardless
of whether or not the Distronic is activated.
Use of the Distronic can be dangerous on
winding roads or in heavy traffic because
conditions do not allow safe driving at a
constant speed.
The Distronic will not react to stationary
objects in the roadway (e.g. a stopped vehi-
cle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
The Distronic will also not respond to
oncoming vehicles.
Switch off the Distronic:
R
when changing from the left to the right
lane if vehicles are moving more slowly
in the left lane
R
when entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp
R
in complex driving situations, such as in
highway construction zones
In these situations, the Distronic will con-
tinue to maintain the set speed unless
deactivated.
The Distronic is designed and intended only
to maintain a set speed and keep a set dis-
tance from moving objects in front of it.
