Location 

The DTR controller unit is located in the center behind the radiator grille.

Task 

The DTR controller unit has the following tasks:

The DTR controller unit evaluates the target data internally.

The DISTRONIC controller unit the target data from the long range sensor from the DTR controller unit via the dynamics CAN (CAN H) to the radar sensors control unit or to the video and radar sensor system control unit.

Input and output signals 

The following input signals are evaluated and output signals are issued via the vehicle dynamics CAN from the DTR controller unit:

Input signals for vehicle dynamics CAN 

Output signals for vehicle dynamics CAN 

Design 

The DTR controller unit contains a control electronics for actuation and evaluation of the long range radar.

Properties of long range radar:

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

IMPORTANT The radar plate (A) is a radar-permeable cover in the radiator grille, which is required for the DISTRONIC PLUS to function correctly.

The radar plate has the following tasks:
