1 Set speed
2 Cruise control speed segments
3 Speed of the vehicle ahead
If Distronic detects a vehicle directly
ahead, the cruise control speed
segments
2, which represents the differ-
ence from the speed of the preceding
vehicle
3 to the driver’s selected set
speed 1, appear in the speedometer.
If Distronic calculates that there is a dan-
ger of collision:
ț The distance warning lamp l in the
instrument cluster comes on
(
୴ page 27).
ț An intermittent warning sounds.
̈ Immediately apply the brake to avoid a
collision.
Under no circumstances should the
driver await the intermittent warning
sound before braking. See the follow-
ing warning note.
The intermittent warning sound ceases
and the distance warning lamp
l
goes out when the necessary distance
to the vehicle ahead is again estab-
lished.
i The vehicle speed displayed on the speed-
ometer can briefly vary from the speed setting
on the Distronic system.
