Distronic displays in the speedometer

Red distance warning lamp

Set speed
If the Distronic is activated, the set speed
2 and distance warning lamp 1 appear in
the speedometer.
The vehicle speed displayed on the speed-
ometer can briefly vary from the speed setting
on the Distronic system.
If the Distronic detects a vehicle directly
ahead, the Distronic indicator lamp E in
the speedometer dial comes on white.
If the Distronic calculates that there is a dan-
ger of collision, the distance warning lamp
E
in the speedometer comes on red and
an intermittent warning sounds.
X
Immediately apply the brakes to avoid a
collision.
Under no circumstances should the driver
await the intermittent warning sound
before braking.
The intermittent warning sound ceases and
the red distance warning lamp E goes
out when the necessary distance to the
vehicle ahead is established again.
G
Warning!
An intermittent warning sounds and the
distance warning lamp (red) E in the
speedometer dial is illuminated if the Dis-
tronic system calculates that the distance
to the vehicle ahead and your vehicle’s cur-
rent speed indicate that the Distronic will
not be capable of slowing the vehicle suffi-
ciently to maintain the preset following dis-
tance, which creates a danger of a collision.
Immediately brake the vehicle to increase
your distance to the preceding vehicle. The
warning sound is intended as a final caution
in which you should intercede with your
own braking inputs to avoid a potentially
dangerous situation. Do not wait for the
operation of the warning signal to intercede
with your own braking. This will result in
potentially dangerous emergency braking
which will not always result in an impact
being avoided.
Tailgating increases the risk of an accident.
G
Warning!
The Distronic brakes your vehicle with a
maximum deceleration of 6.5 ft/s
2
(2 m/s
2
). This corresponds to approxi-
mately 20% of the maximum deceleration
of your vehicle.
The Distronic brakes the vehicle in an effort
to restore the preset distance or to main-
tain the set speed.
