Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles ahead
are detected, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a halt. The
vehicle accelerates or brakes, depending on the
distance to the vehicle in front and the set speed.
Speed and distance are set and stored on the
steering wheel. The speed can be set in the range
between 13 mph (20 km/h) and 125 mph
(200 km/h).

DISTRONIC:

DISTRONIC intervenes either dynamically
(short distance) or to save fuel (long dis‐
tance).
