GF30.30-P-0005RI DISTRONIC, Overall Function
- with CODE (219) Distronic (DTR)
- refinement package
- 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.

The DISTRONIC special equipment includes the following functionality:
^ 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 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 in dangerous situations.
The electronics activates the brakes automatically when the target distance falls short and reaccelerates back up to the target speed as soon as the traffic situation permits.

Distance warning system (AWS)
The distance 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:
