Hello,
After years of aspiring to own a Mercedes E Coupe, I'm finally looking to make the plunge and have found a 2012 model that includes the driver assistance package: Distronic Plus, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Tracking.
Now here's the Q:
Does the Distronic Plus on 2012 models automatically brake / accelerate to maintain a set distance to the vehicle in front, slowing down when necessary and speeding up as the distance increases? I know that the newer models can do this but wondered if anyone with the feature on a 2012 model can advise?
When looking at the 2009 Distronic models for example, the vehicle does not actually automatically maintain a distance but rather provides an audible alert and once the driver brakes, then the car applies the necessary breaking pressure to minimise impact. I'm looking to get the newer distronic which automatically breaks like BMWs Stop Go Active cruise.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
