mum distance to the vehicle in front
required by law. Adjust the distance to the
vehicle in front if necessary.
Distance warning function
Even if Distronic is deactivated, this function
warns you at speeds above 30 km/h if:
R
the distance to the vehicle in front is too
short for the speed you are driving at for
several seconds. The
l
distance warn-
ing lamp in the instrument cluster then
lights up.
R
you are approaching a vehicle in front at too
great a speed. You then hear an intermit-
tent warning tone, and the
l
distance
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up.
You must apply the brakes yourself in order
to maintain the correct distance to the vehicle
and to avoid a collision.
G
Risk of accident
Be especially observant of traffic condi-
tions when the
l
distance warning lamp
in the instrument cluster lights up or an
intermittent warning tone sounds.
Brake or take evasive action as necessary.

Distronic does not always clearly recog-
nise complex road and traffic conditions.
You may then receive a false distance warn-
ing tone or none at all.
