Warning!
The Distronic brakes your vehicle with a
maximum deceleration of 6.5 ft/s

approximately 20% of the maximum
deceleration of your vehicle.
The Distronic brakes the vehicle in an effort
to restore the preset distance or to
maintain the set speed.
Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times,
including the area under the brake pedal.
Objects stored in this area may impair
pedal movement which could interfere with
the braking ability of the Distronic system.
Do not place your foot under the brake
pedal – your foot could become caught.
