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
E
DTR warning
lamp in the speedometer lights up in red.
R
you are approaching a vehicle in front at too
great a speed. You then hear an intermit-
tent warning tone, and the
E
DTR warn-
ing lamp in the speedometer lights up in
red.
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
E
DTR warning lamp in
the speedometer lights up or an intermit-
tent warning tone sounds.
Brake or take evasive action as necessary.
i
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.
