Distronic Plus Problem on CL 550 4matic

Hey guys.
I just got my 09 CL550 4matic and im having a problem with my Distronic. It works fine in traffic but when the car comes to a complete stop i have to manually press on the gas pedal to acclerate the car. It will not acclerate automatically once the car in front of me starts moving....anyone else having this problem? thanks in advance

That's not a problem. It's how the system was designed.
Think about this...
You're using Distronic Plus and there happens to be a stop sign at a 4 way intersection. The car in front of you goes. Would you want your car to follow the car automatically?

If the car in front stops for more than 3 or 4 seconds, you have to manually start it, either thru the gas pedal of cruise stalk. If less than 3-4 seconds then it will accelerate on its own.

I also believe you can just hit the resume button on the cruise control and it will start again.
