Operated via the multi-function steering wheel, a series of radar sensors around the car measure the distance of cars or other objects in front and on each side of the vehicle.

The on-board computer adjusts the brakes and acceleration automatically in order to maintain a constant distance between you and surrounding objects. Through a speed range of 0-124mph the brakes and acceleration are adjusted automatically meaning, if necessary, the vehicle will even be brought to a standstill.

From motorway driving to stop-and-go traffic, the optional Distronic Plus system offers drivers a more relaxed driving experience.
