Offset driving
A vehicle traveling in your lane but offset from
your direct line of travel may not be detected
by Distronic. There will be insufficient dis-

cease when the distance to the preceding
vehicle is sufficient again without applying
the brakes. In this case, the distance warning
lamp E will also go out.
