Mercedes Distronic is an intelligent cruisecontrol which is
being sold as a Mercedesoption. Many people have asked me how
does it work and does it work as announced.
I have now had the opportunity to test out a S500L equipped with
the Distronic system and I can give you a couple of answers, YES
it does work and YES it works as is announced.
The Distronic works almost as a standard Mercedes cruise control
(Tempomat)
but it is also working with a radar integrated in the cars
grille
constantly measuring the distance between your car and the one
in front of you.
Example you set the Cruise at 90km/h, some car cuts you off
doing 70km/h the distronic sense the obstacle in front of you
and adjusts the speed accordingly, it even brakes the speed down
if neccesary the Distronic have access to 20% of the brakes
potentional and can save many situations but its not idiot
proof.
