If Distronic is activated, one or two seg-
ments come on around the set speed.
1 Segments
If Distronic detects a vehicle directly
ahead, the segments (representing the
difference) from the speed of the vehicle
ahead to the set speed come on.
If Distronic calculates that there is a dan-
ger of collision:
ț The distance warning lamp l in the
instrument cluster comes on red.
ț An intermittent warning sounds.
̈ Immediately brake the vehicle 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 red distance warning
lamp
l goes out when the neces-
sary distance to the vehicle ahead is
again established.
i The vehicle speed displayed on the speed-
ometer can briefly vary from the speed setting
on the Distronic system.
