What Is DISTRONIC® on a Mercedes-Benz?

Mercedes-Benz DISTRONIC® Active Distance Assist 

New Mercedes-Benz vehicles come with so much technology that it can be hard to keep track of everything. So, what is DISTRONIC® on a Mercedes-Benz? Below, we’ll get into what DISTRONIC® is and what its benefits are, so stick with Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead from Peoria, AZ. 

What Is DISTRONIC®? 

DISTRONIC® Active Driving Assist is a smart cruise control or advanced cruise control system. What makes it smart? It can maintain your set speed while also reacting to the speed of traffic around the car. That means it can come to a standstill if traffic does, and it can resume your set speed when possible. 

What Are the Benefits of DISTRONIC®? 

The main benefit of DISTRONIC® is reducing driver fatigue. When you don’t have to constantly monitor your speed and keep your foot on the gas pedal, you’re free to relax and get a little more comfortable. The technology still requires eyes on the road and hands on the steering wheel, but it gives you a tad more convenience. This is especially noteworthy on longer commutes and road trips. 

How Fast Can I Go with DISTRONIC® on My Mercedes-Benz? 

Vehicles without the Driving Assistance Package can set their DISTRONIC® at up to 100 mph. Vehicles with the Driving Assistance Package can set it at up to 130 mph. These speeds mean that you can use DISTRONIC® on virtually any highway or freeway.
