Setting the specified minimum distance
The specified minimum distance describes the
distance to the vehicle in front that DISTRONIC
PLUS has to maintain depending on the road
speed. You can set the specified minimum dis-
tance that DISTRONIC PLUS is to maintain. As
this distance varies depending on the road
speed, you set it by adjusting the time gap to the
vehicle in front. You can select between a short
and a longer time gap. The set gap is shown in
the display as a distance from the vehicle in
front (
