Deactivation of Distronic
Briefly move the distronic control lever in "OFF"
direction (3) – the stored speed remains in the memory
until the electronic key in the starter switch is turned to
position 1 or 0.
Distronic is also deactivated if:
• the service brake pedal is depressed,
• the parking brake is activated,
• the vehicle decelerates to less than approximately
25 mph (Canada: 30 km/h), e.g. while maintaining
the distance to the vehicle ahead.
Warning!
The Distronic switches off and releases the brakes
when the vehicle decelerates below the minimum
speed of 25 mph (Canada: 30 km/h) by operation of
the system. At that time, the driver must apply the
brakes in order to reduce vehicle speed further or
bring it to a stop.
