Setting the following distance in
Distronic
You can set the specified following dis-
tance for Distronic by varying the time set-
ting between 1.0 and 2.0 seconds. Using
this time setting and the current speed of
your vehicle, Distronic calculates and sets
the required following distance to the pre-
ceding vehicle. The set distance will ap-
pear in the right multifunction display
(

The distance setting thumbwheel for the
time setting is located on the lower section
of the center console.

the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.g. on icy
roads).

It is up to the driver to exercise discretion to
select the appropriate setting given road
conditions, traffic, driver’s preferred driving
style and applicable laws and driving recom-
mendations for safe following distance.
