part3_01.fm Seite 260 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Driving systems Distronic (DTR) (optional) When activated the Distronic system increases driving convenience, for example over long distances, as it automatically maintains a speed set by the driver by actively regulating the throttle setting. It also maintains within certain limitations a preset distance to a vehicle ahead.
part3_01.fm Seite 261 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Note: Warning! For operation in the USA only: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: Only use Distronic if the traffic and weather conditions make it advisable to travel at a steady speed. (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and Use of Distronic can be dangerous on winding roads or in heavy traffic because conditions do not allow safe driving at a steady speed.

Mai 2001 7:05 07 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Driving systems • For a more precise setting the speed can be increased in increments of 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) by briefly pulling the control lever in direction (4). Caution! If the driver’s foot is not fully removed from the accelerator pedal, the message “DISTRONIC OVERRIDE” appears in the multifunction display.

See also page 274 for notes on the multifunction displays. Warning! Distronic brakes (up to 20% of vehicle braking power) the vehicle to restore the preset distance or to maintain the speed.
part3_01.fm Seite 267 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Warning! Caution! An intermittent warning sounds and the distance warning lamp in the speedometer dial is illuminated if the Distronic system calculates that the distance to the vehicle ahead and your vehicle’s current speed indicate that Distronic will not be capable of slowing the vehicle sufficiently to maintain the preset following distance, which creates a danger of a collision.
part3_01.fm Seite 268 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Driving systems Additional driving hints Warning! Distronic works to maintain the speed selected by the driver unless a moving obstacle proceeding directly ahead of it in the same travel direction is detected (e.g. following another vehicle ahead at a distance set by Distronic).
part3_01.fm Seite 269 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 The Distronic system’s detection zone is relatively narrow at the start and becomes broader as it senses further from the vehicle. Thus, Distronic may not recognize another vehicle coming into your path close to the front of your vehicle. You must be prepared to intercede with braking or steering as necessary. A vehicle not traveling directly in front of you could cause detection problems, the actual distance to that vehicle really being much shorter.

Mai 2001 7:05 07 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Driving systems Practical hints Car care Technical data 270 P54.70-2164-26 A vehicle changing lanes at close range is only recognized when entering the area scanned by Distronic. You must apply the service brakes to gain sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. A narrow vehicle (e.g. a motorcycle) is only recognized when entering the area scanned by Distronic.
part3_01.fm Seite 271 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Distance warning function Important! Even if Distronic is deactivated, the distance to the vehicle ahead continues to be measured, see page 274 for multifunction display. With the Distronic switched off, only the distance warning function operates, meaning the vehicle does not slow down.
part3_01.fm Seite 272 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Driving systems Distronic settings Practical hints Car care Technical data 272 • Decrease distance – turn thumbwheel (2) towards ®. Warning! It is up to the driver to exercise discretion to select the appropriate setting given road conditions, traffic, driver’s preferred driving style and applicable laws and driving recommendations for safe following distance.
part3_01.fm Seite 273 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Notes: With the distance warning function activated, you will still be advised by an intermittent audible warning if a potential emergency braking circumstance has been detected, even if Distronic has been deactivated. The last selected warning function mode (on/off) will be stored in memory, even when removing the electronic key from the starter switch.

The actual distance (5) and the should-be distance (6) to the vehicle ahead (4) are displayed. 2 Activating Distronic. The display with the selected speed is shown for approximately 5 seconds. 3 Distronic is activated.
part3_01.fm Seite 275 Montag, 7. Mai 2001 7:05 07 Displays in the speedometer dial When Distronic system is activated, one or two segments around the speed stored in memory light up in the speedometer dial. If a vehicle is detected ahead, those segments in the speedometer dial light up that indicate the speed range from the speed of the vehicle in front up to the Distronic stored speed. When the vehicle in front can no longer be detected, only the segments around the stored speed light up.
