Driving systems
̈ Briefly pull the cruise control lever in
the direction of arrow
4 ( ୴ page 420).
The cruise control resumes to the last
set speed or if no speed is stored, it will
set and store the current speed.
̈ Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
The last set speed appears in the multi-
function display for approximately
5 seconds, and the corresponding
speedometer segments from the se-
lected speed to the vehicle maximum
speed are illuminated.
DISTRONIC Plus*
When activated, the DISTRONIC Plus adap-
tive cruise control system increases driv-
ing convenience afforded by the cruise
control during travel on expressways and
other major roadways.
ț If the DISTRONIC Plus distance sensor
detects a slower moving vehicle direct-
ly ahead, your vehicle speed will be re-
duced so that you follow that vehicle at
a preset distance.
ț If there is no vehicle directly ahead of
you, DISTRONIC Plus will function in
the same way as the cruise control
(
୴ page 419).
DISTRONIC Plus functions within a speed
range of 0 to 120 mph.
When travelling in Canada in a vehicle not
registered in Canada, you must switch off
the radar sensor system* (
୴ page 282).
Canadian law does not permit the use of
the radar sensor system* (
୴ page 282) for
vehicles from outside of Canada. When you
switch off the radar sensor system*, the
following functions are deactivated:
ț BAS Plus* ( ୴ page 69)
ț DISTRONIC Plus
ț Park Assist* ( ୴ page 448)
ț PRE-SAFE ® Brake* ( ୴ page 76)
i The last stored set speed is deleted when
the engine is turned off.
