The cruise control resumes to the last set speed or if no speed is stored, it will set and store the current speed. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The last set speed appears in the multifunction display for approximately 5 seconds, and the corresponding speedometer segments from the selected speed to the vehicle maximum speed are illuminated. DISTRONIC Plus* When activated, the DISTRONIC Plus adaptive cruise control system increases driving convenience afforded by the cruise control during travel on expressways and other major roadways. If the DISTRONIC Plus distance sensor detects a slower moving vehicle directly ahead, your vehicle speed will be reduced so that you follow that vehicle at a preset distance. If there is no vehicle directly ahead of you, DISTRONIC Plus will function in the same way as the cruise control ( page 419). DISTRONIC Plus functions within a speed range of 0 to 120 mph. When travelling in Canada in a vehicle not registered in Canada, you must switch off the radar sensor system* ( page 282). Canadian law does not permit the use of the radar sensor system* ( page 282) for vehicles from outside of Canada. When you switch off the radar sensor system*, the following functions are deactivated: BAS Plus* ( page 69) DISTRONIC Plus Park Assist* ( page 448) PRE-SAFE® Brake* ( page 76) i The last stored set speed is deleted when the engine is turned off. 424
