Setting to last stored speed
(“Resume” function)
왘 Briefly push the cruise control lever in
direction of arrow 4 (
컄 page 221).
The cruise control resumes the last set
speed.
왘 Remove your foot from the accelera-
tor pedal.
The selected speed appears in the multi-
function display for approximately
5 seconds, and the corresponding speed-
ometer segments from the selected
speed to the vehicle maximum speed are
illuminated.
When activated, the Distronic adaptive
cruise control system increases driving
convenience afforded by the cruise con-
trol during travel on expressways and
other major roads.
앫 If the Distronic distance sensor de-
tects a slower moving vehicle directly
ahead, your vehicle speed will be re-
duced so that you follow that vehicle
at a preset distance.
앫 If there is no vehicle directly ahead of
you, Distronic will function in the
same way as cruise control
(
컄 page 221).
Warning! G
The speed stored in memory should only
be set again if prevailing road conditions
permit. Possible acceleration or decelera-
tion differences arising from returning to
preset speed could cause an accident and/
or serious injury to you and others.
Distronic**
Warning! G
Distronic adaptive cruise control is no sub-
stitute for active driving involvement. It
does not react to stationary objects, nor
does it recognize or predict the curvature
and lane layout or the movement of vehi-
cles ahead. Distronic can only apply a max-
imum of 20% of the vehicle’s braking
power.
It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to
be attentive to road, traffic and weather
conditions and to provide the steering,
braking and other driving inputs necessary
to retain control of the vehicle.
Warning! G
Distronic is a convenience system. Its speed
adjustment reduction capability is intend-
ed to make cruise control more effective
and usable when traffic speeds vary. How-
ever, it is not intended to, nor does it, re-
place the need for extreme care. The
responsibility for the vehicle speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead, including
most importantly brake operation to as-
sure safe stopping distance, always rests
with the driver.
Distronic cannot take street and traffic
conditions into account.
Warning! G
Distronic requires familiarity with its oper-
ational characteristics. We strongly recom-
mend that you review the following
information carefully before operating the
system.
