The speed limiter helps to prevent the vehicle from exceeding a speed that you have stored.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards at speeds from around 30 km/h (around 20 mph).
Driving with the speed limiter
You can interrupt the speed limiter function at any time by fully depressing the accelerator beyond the point of resistance. As soon as
the stored speed is exceeded, the green indicator lamp will flash and an acoustic warning may sound. The speed remains stored in the
memory.
The speed limiter function is activated again automatically as soon as the speed drops below the stored speed.
Displays
When the speed limiter is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the stored speed and the status of the speed limiter.
One of the following indicator lamps will light up depending on the driving situation:
Speed limiter switched on, system control active.
Speed limiter switched on, system control not active.
Driving downhill
The vehicle cannot maintain the stored speed in all driving situations. Always be prepared to brake the vehicle.
1. Shift down before extended downhill stretches.
In this way you will make use of the engine braking effect and relieve the load on the brakes.
WARNING
Use of the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can cause accidents and serious injuries or even death.
● Ensure that your speed is always appropriate for the current visibility, weather and road/traffic conditions. The driver is responsible
for the vehicle speed at all times.
● Do not drive at full throttle if this is not necessary.
● Never use the speed limiter on slippery roads (e.g. as a result of aquaplaning, snow, ice or leaves).
● In order to avoid unintentional control interventions, switch off the speed limiter when you do not need it.
