Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
▌Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freely. 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 (in the range between 20 km/h
and 200 km/h) and the distance to the vehicle in
front are set and saved on the steering wheel.
