X
Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards
you ?or press it up :or down Ato the
pressure point.
Distronic is activated.
X Keep the cruise control lever pressed
up : or down Auntil the desired speed
is set.
X Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
Your vehicle adapts its speed to that of the
vehicle in front, but only up to the stored
speed.
i You can use the cruise control lever to set
the stored speed and the thumbwheel on
the cruise control lever to set the specified
minimum distance (Y page 123).
i If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the DISTRONIC Override message
appears in the multi-function display. The
distance to a slower-moving vehicle in front
will then not be governed. You will be driv-
ing at the speed you determine by the posi-
tion of the accelerator pedal.
Driving
If there is no vehicle in front, Distronic oper-
ates in the same way as cruise control.
If a slower-moving vehicle is detected in front,
Distronic causes your vehicle to brake and
maintain the preset distance to the vehicle in
front.
If Distronic detects a faster-moving vehicle in
front, it increases the driving speed, but only
as far as the stored speed. G
Risk of accident
If you depress the brake pedal, Distronic is
deactivated. Distronic will then no longer
brake your vehicle. The driver is fully respon-
sible for the vehicle's distance from other
vehicles, its speed and for braking in good
time. Stopping G
Risk of accident
The Distronic braking effect is cancelled and
the vehicle can start moving if:
R Distronic is deactivated using the cruise
control lever.
R you accelerate.
R the system or the power supply is disrup-
ted, e.g. due to battery failure.
R the electrical system in the engine com-
partment or the fuses have been tampered
with.
R the battery is disconnected. G
Risk of accident
Distronic must never be operated or deacti-
vated by a passenger or from outside the vehi-
cle.
If you wish to leave the vehicle or park it,
deactivate Distronic and secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
If Distronic detects that the vehicle in front is
stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it is sta-
tionary.
i Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
about four metres behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is
set using the thumbwheel on the cruise-
control lever.
Distronic is deactivated automatically when
stopping:
R on flat stretches of road or on downhill gra-
dients when the vehicle is stationary.
R while the vehicle is still moving on uphill
gradients, to prevent the vehicle from unex-
pectedly rolling back when Distronic is
deactivated.
If Distronic is deactivated, you will hear a
warning tone.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away. 122

not drop too low. If the on-board voltage is
too low, the power to the sockets is auto-
matically cut. This ensures that there is suf-
ficient power to start the engine.

G
Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the country
in which you are currently driving regarding
operating mobile communications equipment
in a vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so when the traffic
situation allows. Otherwise, you could be dis-
tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronics and,
thereby, jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you
must only use this equipment if it is correctly
connected to a separate, reflection-free, exte-
rior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into
account current scientific discussions relat-
ing to the possible health risk posed by elec-
tromagnetic fields.
To ensure optimum reception quality for
mobile phones in the vehicle, and to minimise
mutual influences between the vehicle elec-
tronics and mobile phones, Mercedes-Benz
recommends the use of an approved exterior
aerial. An exterior aerial conducts the elec-
tromagnetic fields generated by a wireless
device to the exterior of the vehicle; the field
strength within the vehicle interior is lower
than in a vehicle that does not have an exte-
rior aerial.
i There are various mobile phone brackets
that may be fitted to your vehicle; in some 164

"Minispare" emergency spare
wheel*
The vehicle tool kit, TIREFIT, jack and
"Minispare" emergency spare wheel are in the
stowage space under the luggage compart-
ment floor. G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed.
You must use axle stands if you are carrying
out work on the vehicle.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar objects as a jack underlay.
Otherwise, the jack will not be able to achieve
its load-bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
Do not start the engine at any time while a
wheel is being changed. Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise the
vehicle as described, it could slip off the jack
(e.g. if the engine is started or if a door or the
tailgate is opened or closed) and you could be
seriously injured.
i When using the jack, you should also
observe the safety notes in the "Flat tyre"
section (Y page 262).
X Open the luggage compartment floor
