Narrow vehicles
Because of their narrow profile, the vehi-
cles traveling near the outer edges of the 
lane have not yet been detected by 
Distronic. There will be insufficient dis-
tance to the vehicles ahead.
Distance warning function*
When Distronic* is deactivated, this func-
tion will continue to warn you when recog-
nizing a stationary obstacle or a slower 
vehicle moving in your vehicle’s path and 
the danger of a collision exists:
The distance warning lamp 
E in the 
speedometer comes on red.
An intermittent warning will sound if 
necessary.
If these warnings are issued, you must 
brake manually to maintain a safe distance 
and avoid a collision with the preceding 
vehicle.
When depressing the brake pedal, the 
warning sound ceases. The warning sound 
will also cease when the distance to the 
preceding vehicle is sufficient again with-
out applying the brakes. In this case, the 
distance warning lamp will also go out.
Warning!
G
If the distance warning lamp (red) 
E in 
the speedometer comes on while driving 
and/or an intermittent warning sounds, im-
mediate attention on part of the driver is 
required.
As required by the traffic situation, apply the 
brakes and navigate around a possible ob-
stacle. However, do not drive by relying on 
the distance warning function, as this will 
result in an emergency braking application. 
This will not always enable you to avoid a 
collision, especially when traveling on vary-
ing road surface conditions and with varying 
driver reaction.
i
Complex driving situations are not always 
fully recognized by the distance warning func-
tion. This could result in wrong or missing dis-
tance warnings.
