Quick Distronic Question

I don't use distronic very frequently. Yesterday, it was a bad stop'n'go traffic and I tried to use my distronic. I noticed that when distronic brought my car to a complete 'stop', that it just de-activated. Shouldn't is resume after a stop when the car ahead of you moves?

Thanks in advance!!

I wish it would resume even after a stop but unfortunately you have to either pull back on the cruise control stalk or tap on the accelerator a bit to resume the system.
It didn't deactivate when you came to a stop , it just goes into hold.

Thanks Trumpet1!!

I did tap on the accelerator and did pull back on the cruise as well, still nothing happened. From a complete stop, I had to start manually and had to re-activitate the distronic. I will try it again.

Thanks again!!

if you touch the brake while the car is stopped it will turn off the distronic. mine works fine too. once the car starts moving in front of you, just tap the accellerator.
