after you have finished overtaking.
DISTRONIC is automatically deactivated if:
• you apply the parking brake.
• you are driving slower than
20 mph (25 km/h) and there is no vehicle
in front, or if the vehicle in front is no longer
detected.
• ESP® intervenes or you deactivate ESP®.
• you shift the transmission to P, R or N.
If DISTRONIC is deactivated, you will hear a warning tone. You will see the DISTRONIC Off message in the multifunction display for approximately five seconds.
