Distance warning function
When Distronic is deactivated, this func-
tion will continue to warn you when recog-
nizing a slower vehicle moving in the
vehicle's path and the danger of a collision
exists:
The distance warning lamp l in the
instrument cluster comes on.
An intermittent warning sounds.
If these warnings are issued, you must
brake manually to maintain a safe distance
and avoid a collision with the vehicle
ahead.
When pressing the brake pedal, the warn-
ing sound stops. The warning sound also
stops when the distance to the vehicle
ahead is sufficient again without applying
the brake pedal. In this case the distance
warning lamp l also extinguishes.
