왘
Briefly depress the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle pulls away and adapts its
speed to the vehicle in front.
Driving
If there is no vehicle in front, Distronic Plus
operates in the same way as cruise control
(
컄
page 303).
If Distronic Plus detects that the vehicle in
front is moving more slowly, it will cause
your vehicle to brake and thus maintain the
preset distance from the vehicle in front.
If Distronic Plus detects that the vehicle in
front is moving more quickly, it will cause
your vehicle to accelerate up to no more
than the stored speed.
Stopping
G
Risk of accident
The brake pedal is depressed when Dis-
tronic Plus brakes. The movement of the
pedals must not be impaired in any way:
앫
Do not place any objects in the footwell.
앫
Make sure that floormats and carpet are
firmly secured.
앫 Do not place your foot underneath the
brake pedal, otherwise it could become
trapped.
You could otherwise cause an accident and
injure yourself and others.
G
Risk of accident
Depressing the brake pedal deactivates Dis-
tronic Plus, unless the vehicle is stationary.
Distronic Plus will then no longer cause your
vehicle to brake. You are responsible at all
times for your vehicle’s distance from other
vehicles, the speed of your vehicle and for
braking in good time.
