Distance control
Principle
With the distance control, a distance to a vehi-
cle driving ahead can be adjusted in addition to
the Cruise Control.
General information
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-
matically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-
uation allows.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-
still and then drives off again within a brief pe-
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.
Otherwise, drive off independently such as by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by press-
ing the button for the speed setting on the
steering wheel.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver's personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
