Activating DISTRONIC PLUS

Important safety notes

WARNING

The vehicle can be braked when DISTRONIC

PLUS is activated. For this reason, deactivate

DISTRONIC PLUS if the vehicle is to be set in

motion by other means (e.g. in a car wash or

by towing).

Activation conditions
To activate DISTRONIC PLUS, the following

conditions must be fulfilled:

the engine must be running. It may take up

to two minutes of driving before DIS-

TRONIC PLUS is ready for use.

the parking brake must be released.

ESP

must be switched on, but not inter-

vening.

the transmission must be in position D.

the bonnet must be closed.

the driver's door must be closed when you

shift from P to D or your seat belt must be

fastened.

the front-passenger door and the rear

doors must be closed.

the vehicle must not be skidding.

Activating while driving

Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards

you

;

, or press it up

or down

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 desired

stored speed.

When driving at speeds below 30 km/h, you

can only activate DISTRONIC PLUS if the vehi-

cle in front has been detected and is shown

in the multifunction display. If the vehicle in

front is no longer detected and displayed,

DISTRONIC PLUS switches off and you will

hear a tone.

If you do not fully release the accelerator

pedal, the

DISTRONIC PLUS suspended

message appears in the multifunction dis-

play. The set distance to a slower moving

vehicle in front will then not be maintained.

You will be driving at the speed you deter-

mine by the position of the accelerator

pedal.

Activating when driving towards a sta-

tionary vehicle

Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards

you

;

, or press it up

or down

DISTRONIC PLUS is selected.

Press the cruise control lever repeatedly

or down

until the desired speed

is set.

If the vehicle in front of you is stationary, you

can only activate DISTRONIC PLUS once your

vehicle is stationary as well.

DISTRONIC PLUS can only be activated at

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

detected. Therefore, the DISTRONIC PLUS

distance display in the instrument cluster

should be activated (

page 237).
