Distronic Plus question
Hi,
my 2nd post, still learning the car.
I think in the manual it says that Distronic Plus will slow down the car to a complete stop and then start taking off by itself as soon as the car in front of me moves again.
The slow down part works, but the car doesn't start moving on its own
Is there a setting I missed?

While the distronic is active and the vehicle has come to a stop (i.e. at a light). If you want to reactivate it, either pull on the cruise control stalk, the resume function. Or as others have mentioned, pushed the gas pedal, either method works. Although, I prefer using the cruise control stalk.

If the vehicle in front resumes moving in about 3 seconds, no interaction is required. If not, you must tap the accelerator or pull the Cruise Control stalk toward you.

Yes - it works in this way 
I am also unhappy that when I cruising using Distronic and want overtake car (e.g. slow lorry I am behind of) my eSSa accelerates very slowly until it is fully on the left side (no in the shadow of pre-car). Last months drove Volvo V40 and when only I turn left signal on it reduced gear and started to accelerate - very nice.
