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

The DISTRONIC special equipment includes the following functionality:
^ Variable Speed Limiter
^ Permanent Speed Limiter
^ DISTRONIC (DTR)
^ Proximity warning system (AWS)

Variable Speed Limiter
The Variable Speed Limiter enables the driver to set a maximum speed ranging from 30 km/h up to the maximum speed for himself.

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.

Proximity warning system (AWS)
The proximity warning system is an additional function of DISTRONIC.
The driver can activate the optical and acoustic distance warning independent of the DISTRONIC distance control.

These subfunctions are described in the following documents:
