DRIVER SUPPORT

Speed limiter

: From active mode – deactivates/

changes the speed limiter to standby

mode

WARNING

A speed limiter (SL²⁷) can be likened to a

reverse cruise control - the driver regulates

the speed using the accelerator pedal but is

prevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-

selected/set maximum speed by the speed

limiter.

The function is supplementary driver

support intended to facilitate driving

and make it safer – it cannot handle all

situations in all traffic, weather and

road conditions.

The driver is advised to read all sec-

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate

to this function to learn about factors

such as its limitations and what the

driver should be aware of before using

the system.

Driver support functions are not a sub-

stitute for the driver's attention and

judgement. The driver is always

responsible for ensuring the car is

driven in a safe manner, at the appro-

priate speed, with an appropriate dis-

tance to other vehicles, and in accord-

ance with current traffic rules and reg-

ulations.

The speed limiter can also be temporarily

deactivated and overridden with the accelera-

tor pedal without the speed limiter first having

to be set in standby mode - e.g. to be able to

quickly accelerate the car out of a situation.

Temporary deactivation of speed limiter

(p. 287)

In which case, proceed as follows:

1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and

release it to interrupt acceleration when

the desired speed has been reached.

> In this mode, the speed limiter is still

activated and the driver display's sym-

bol is therefore WHITE.

Press the steering wheel button

(2).

> The symbol and indicators turn grey –

the speed limiter is set in standby mode

and the driver can exceed the set speed

limit.

2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when

the temporary acceleration is finished.

> The car is then engine-braked automat-

ically to below the last stored maximum

speed.

2. Press the steering wheel button ◀ (1) or ▶

(3) to change to another function.

> The driver display's symbol and indica-

tor for speed limiter (4) are switched off

DRIVER SUPPORT

Limitations for speed limiter

Automatic speed limiter

WARNING

Speed limiter (SL³¹) has certain general limi-

tations.

The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL³²) func-

tion helps the driver to adapt the car's maxi-

mum speed to the speed shown on the road

signs.

The function is supplementary driver

support intended to facilitate driving

and make it safer – it cannot handle all

situations in all traffic, weather and

road conditions.

•

On steep downhill gradients the speed limit-

er’s braking effect may be inadequate and

hence the stored maximum speed may be

exceeded. In this case, the driver is alerted by

the message Speed limit exceeded in the

driver display.

The Speed Limiter function (SL³³) can be

changed to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL).

The driver is advised to read all sec-

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate

to this function to learn about factors

such as its limitations and what the

driver should be aware of before using

the system.

The automatic speed limiter uses speed infor-

mation from the Road Sign Information*

(RSI³⁴) function to automatically adapt the

car's maximum speed.

NOTE

A text message that the maximum speed is

exceeded will be activated if the speed has

been exceeded by at least 3 km/h

(approx. 2 mph).

WARNING

Driver support functions are not a sub-

stitute for the driver's attention and

judgement. The driver is always

responsible for ensuring the car is

driven in a safe manner, at the appro-

priate speed, with an appropriate dis-

tance to other vehicles, and in accord-

ance with current traffic rules and reg-

ulations.

•

Even if the driver clearly sees the speed-

related road sign, the speed information

from the Road Sign Information* (RSI)

function to ASL may be incorrect – in such

cases the driver must intervene him/herself

and accelerate or brake to a suitable speed.

To remove road sign information from

the driver display, you must deactivate

WARNING

After switching from ASL to SL the car will

no longer follow the signed speed limit but

only the stored maximum speed.

When the automatic speed limiter

function is activated but Road Sign

Information is deactivated, no warn-

ings are given from Road Sign Infor-

mation. Road Sign Information must

also be activated in order to receive

warnings.

Limitations for automatic speed

limiter

Automatic speed limitation (ASL³⁹) takes

place using speed information from the Road

Sign Information function* (RSI⁴⁰) – not from

the speed limit road signs that the car

passes.

If road sign information cannot interpret and

provide speed information to the driver sup-

port systems, the automatic speed limiter is

set in standby mode and changes to normal

speed limiter. In such cases the driver must

intervene and brake to a suitable speed.

The cruise control (CC⁴¹) helps the driver

maintain an even speed, which can result in

more relaxed driving on motorways and long,

straight roads in regular traffic flows.

until 70 km/h (43 mph) in the centre of

the speedometer (2) changes to 75 km/h

(47 mph).

> After which, the car uses the selected

tolerance 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as

signs passed are showing 70 km/h

(43 mph).

The tolerance is followed until a road sign with

a lower or higher speed is passed - then the

car follows the new signed speed limit instead

and the tolerance is deleted from the memory.

The automatic speed limiter will be reactivated

when road sign information can once again

interpret and provide speed information.

NOTE

The maximum selectable tolerance is

+/- 10 km/h (5 mph).
