The most likely cause for a malfunctioning
system is a dirty sensor (located behind
the hood grille), especially at times of snow
and ice or heavy rain. In such a case, Dis-
tronic will switch off, and the message
Distronic - Clean sensor! see oper.
appears in the multifunction dis-
Manual
play.
For cleaning and care of the Distronic sen-
sor, see "Cleaning the Distronic system
sensor" ( page 283).

If the message "Distronic - clean sen-
sor!" See oper. manual disappears dur-
ing driving and the last speed stored
flashes for approximately five seconds,
the dirt (e.g. slush) has dissolved;
Distronic works again.

Turns and bends
In turns or bends, Distronic may not detect
a moving vehicle in front, or it may detect
one too soon. This may cause your vehicle
to brake late or unexpectedly.
