Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
▌Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
the distance to the vehicle in front and the set
speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in
front are set and saved using the steering wheel.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is available at
speeds of 15 mph (20 km/h) to 130 mph
(210 km/h).
