GF30.30-P-0005GQ DISTRONIC, Overall Function
- with CODE (219) Distronic (DTR)
- as of model year 09


The systems described below belong to the driving assistance systems and are offered as special equipment (SA) under the designation "DISTRONIC" with Code 219.

DISTRONIC contains the following functions:
^ Variable Speed Limiter (except code (494) USA version)
^ Permanent Speed Limiter
^ DISTRONIC (DTR)
^ Distance warning system (AWS)

Variable Speed Limiter (except code (494) USA version)
The Variable Speed Limiter enables the driver to set his/her own individual maximum speed in a range of 30 to 200 km/h.

Permanent Speed Limiter
The Permanent Speed Limiter allows the driver to set (limit) the maximum speed of the vehicle (e.g. for winter tires with a lower permissible maximum speed).

Distronic (DTR)
Using a radar sensor, DISTRONIC maintains the vehicle at a target distance from the vehicle ahead, set by the driver, and alerts the driver via visual and audible signals before dangerous situations arise.
The electronic system automatically activates the brakes when the distance to the preceding vehicle decreases, and accelerates automatically back to the stored target speed as soon as the traffic situation allows.

Distance warning system (AWS)
The distance warning system is an additional function of DISTRONIC. It warns the driver in the speed range of 30 to 250 km/h of moving or stationary obstacles in his lane
The driver can activate or deactivate the distance warning system separately via a menu in the instrument cluster (A1) independently of the DISTRONIC distance control.

These functions are described in the following documents:
