Deactivating DISTRONIC

There are several ways to deactivate DISTRONIC:
► Briefly press the cruise control lever
forwards 1.
or
► Brake.
The last speed stored remains stored until
you switch off the engine.
DISTRONIC is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. If you
accelerate to overtake, DISTRONIC adjusts
the vehicle's speed to the last speed stored
after you have finished overtaking.
DISTRONIC is automatically deactivated if:
• you apply the parking brake.
• you are driving slower than
20 mph (25 km/h) and there is no vehicle
in front, or if the vehicle in front is no longer
detected.
• ESP® intervenes or you deactivate ESP®.
• you shift the transmission to P, R or N.
If DISTRONIC is deactivated, you will hear a warning tone. You will see the DISTRONIC Off message in the multifunction display for approximately five seconds.
