Location 

The DISTRONIC controller unit is integrated on the left in the front bumper

Tasks 

The DISTRONIC controller unit fulfills the following tasks:

The control unit integrated in the DISTRONIC controller unit actuates the long range radar and evaluates the target data. The DISTRONIC controller unit transmits the target data for the long range radar via the dynamics CAN (CAN H) (up to 31.08.2015) or the chassis CAN 1 (CAN E1) (as of 01.09.2015) to the Electronic Stability Program control unit (N30/4).

This means that the DISTRONIC controller unit has the following tasks:

Reading in input factors 

The DISTRONIC controller unit reads for example the following input factors via dynamics CAN (up to 31.08.2015) or chassis CAN 1 (as of 01.09.2015):

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor whereupon the relevant requests and information are then issued.

Transmission of initial parameters 

The DISTRONIC controller unit transmits, for example, the following initial parameters via dynamics CAN (up to 31.08.2015) or chassis CAN 1 (as of 01.09.2015):

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Structure 

The DTR controller unit contains the following assembly parts:

Properties of the long-range radar sensor:

IMPORTANT The DISTRONIC controller unit must be newly adjusted after exchange (e.g. after an accident repair) using the integrated "service adjustment mode".
