cient distance behind the vehicle in front. The
specified minimum distance is set using the
control on the cruise control lever.
The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC is activated and:
R
the driver's door is open and the driver's
seat belt is unfastened
R
the engine is switched off, unless it is auto-
matically switched off by the ECO start/
stop function
R

If a malfunction in the electric parking brake
occurs, then the transmission may also be
shifted into position j automatically.
Setting a speed
Keep in mind that it may take a brief moment
until the vehicle has accelerated or braked to
the speed set.
X
To adjust the set speed in 1 mph incre-
ments (1 km/h increments): briefly press
the cruise control lever up : to the pres-
sure point for a higher speed, or down ;
for a lower speed.
Every time the cruise control lever is
pressed up or down, the last speed stored is
increased or reduced.
X
To adjust the set speed in 5 mph incre-
ments (10 km/h increments): briefly
press the cruise control lever up : past the
pressure point for a higher speed, or
down ; for a lower speed.
Every time the cruise control lever is
pressed up or down, the last speed stored is
increased or reduced.
Setting a specified minimum distance
You can set the specified minimum distance
for Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC by vary-
ing the time span between one and two sec-
onds. This determines the distance that Active
Distance Assist DISTRONIC is to maintain from
the vehicle in front, depending on the road
speed. You can see this distance in the multi-
function display (Y page 160).
The specified minimum distance can be
changed while Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC is switched on or off.
Make sure that you maintain a sufficiently safe
distance from the vehicle in front. Adjust the
distance to the vehicle in front if necessary.
