Driving systems
The most likely cause for a malfunction-
ing system is a dirty sensor (located be-
hind the hood grille), especially at times
of snow and ice or heavy rain. In such a
case, Distronic will switch off, and the
message
DISTRONIC CURRENTLY UNAVAIL-
ABLE SEE OPERATORS MANUAL
appears in
the multifunction display.
For cleaning and care of the Distronic
sensor, see "Cleaning the Distronic sys-
tem sensor" (
page 378).
Turns and bends
In turns or bends, Distronic may not de-
tect a moving vehicle in front, or it may
detect one too soon. This may cause your
vehicle to brake late or unexpectedly.
Warning! G
Distronic should not be used in snowy or
icy road conditions.
i
If the message
DISTRONIC CURRENTLY
UNAVAILABLE SEE OPERATORS MANUAL
disappears during driving and last
speed stored flashes for approximate-
ly five seconds, the dirt (e.g. slush) has
dissolved; Distronic is again opera-
tional.
