What does the DISTRONIC® Feature Do in Mercedes-Benz Models?
The Mercedes-Benz brand is synonymous with luxury and safety. The company holds the rights to almost 40,000 patents globally. In 1999, they were first to market with Distronic technology, the earliest example of what is now adaptive cruise control which uses radar to maintain a set distance between the car being driven and the one ahead of it. Distronic is now standard on many Mercedes-Benz models and available as an optional extra on all others.
