DISTRONIC PLUS® is an advanced adaptive cruise control system that operates when you press the vehicle’s cruise control button. With DISTRONIC PLUS®, your Mercedes-Benz C-Classorother Mercedes-Benz model will automatically brake and accelerate to keep a set distance between your vehicle and the one in front.
At what speeds is DISTRONIC PLUS® able to operate?

What if there’s no vehicle in front of me?
If traffic clears up and there’s no vehicle in front of you, DISTRONIC PLUS® operates in exactly the same way as the regular cruise control system at speeds from 20 to 125 mph.
How do I activate and interact with DISTRONIC PLUS®?
All you have to do is push the stalk on the left-hand side of the steering column up or down until its resistance increases or decreases speed by 1 mpg. At the same time, pushing past the point of resistance lets you increase or decreases speed up to 5 mph
