Driving systems
Distronic*
When activated, the Distronic adaptive 
cruise control system increases driving 
convenience afforded by the cruise control 
during travel on expressways and other 
major roads.
If the Distronic distance sensor detects 
a slower moving vehicle directly ahead, 
your vehicle speed will be reduced so 
that you follow that vehicle at a preset 
distance.
If there is no vehicle directly ahead of 
you, Distronic will function in the same 
way as cruise control (
Warning!
G
Distronic adaptive cruise control is no sub-
stitute for active driving involvement. It does 
not react to stationary objects, nor recog-
nize or predict the curvature and lane layout 
or the movement of vehicles ahead. 
Distronic can only apply a maximum 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, brak-
ing and other driving inputs necessary to re-
tain control of the vehicle.
Warning!
G
Distronic is a convenience system. Its speed 
adjustment reduction capability is intended 
to make cruise control more effective and 
usable when traffic speeds vary. It is not 
however, intended to, nor does it, replace 
the need for extreme care. The responsibili-
ty for the vehicle speed and the distance to 
the vehicle ahead, including most impor-
tantly brake operation to assure safe stop-
ping distance, always remains with the 
driver.
Distronic cannot take street and traffic con-
ditions into account.
Warning!

Distronic requires familiarity with its opera-
tional characteristics. We strongly recom-
mend that you review the following

system.
