Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards

you

or press it up

or down

to the

pressure point.

Distronic Plus is selected.

Keep the cruise control lever pressed

or down

until the desired speed

is set.

Remove your foot from the accelerator

pedal.

Your vehicle adapts its speed to that of the

vehicle in front, but only up to the stored

speed.

If you do not fully release the accelerator

pedal, the

DISTRONIC PLUS suspended

message appears in the multi-function dis-

play. Then, the distance to a slower-moving

vehicle in front will not be governed. You

will be driving at the speed you determine

by the position of the accelerator pedal.

Activating when driving towards a sta-

tionary vehicle
If the vehicle in front of you is stationary, you

can only activate Distronic Plus once your

vehicle is stationary as well.

Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards

you

Distronic Plus is selected.

Distronic Plus can only be activated at

under 30 km/h if a vehicle in front has been

detected. Therefore, the Distronic Plus dis-

tance display in the instrument cluster

should be activated.

Keep the cruise control lever pressed

or down

until the desired speed

is set.

You can use the cruise control lever to set

the stored speed and the thumbwheel on

the cruise control lever to set the specified

minimum distance (

page 250).

Pulling away

If the vehicle in front pulls away: remove

your foot from the brake pedal.

Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards

you

Accelerate briefly.

Your vehicle pulls away and adapts its

speed to that of the vehicle in front.

Driving
If there is no vehicle in front, Distronic Plus

operates in the same way as cruise control.
If a slower-moving vehicle is detected in front,

Distronic Plus causes your vehicle to brake

and maintain a preset distance to the vehicle

in front.
If Distronic Plus detects a faster-moving vehi-

cle in front, it increases the driving speed, but

only up to the stored speed.

Risk of accident

If you depress the brake, Distronic Plus is

deactivated unless your vehicle is stationary.

Distronic Plus then no longer brakes your

vehicle. The driver remains fully responsible

for the vehicle's distance from other vehicles,

its speed and for braking in good time.

Stopping

Risk of accident

The Distronic Plus braking effect is cancelled

and the vehicle could roll away if:

Distronic Plus is deactivated using the

cruise control lever.

you accelerate.

the system or the power supply is disrup-

ted, e.g. due to battery failure.

the electrical system in the engine com-

partment or the fuses have been tampered

with.

the battery is disconnected.

Risk of accident

Never get out of the vehicle when Distronic

Plus is activated.
