Introduction
The speed limiter helps you to ensure that you do not exceed a speed that you have previously saved.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available at speeds above approx. 30 km/h(approx. 20 mph) when driving forward.
Driving with the speed limiter
You can interrupt the limit set by the speed limiter at any time by fully pressing the accelerator pedal beyond the
point of resistance. When you exceed the saved speed, the green indicator light will come on and a warning chime
may sound. The vehicle speed remains stored in the system.
Once your driving speed falls below the saved speed, the speed limiter will automatically begin regulating your speed
again.
Displays
If the speed limiter is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the saved speed and the status of the speed
limiter.
One of the following indicator lights will light up, depending on the driving situation:
Speed limiter switched on, regulation active.
Speed limiter switched on, regulation not active.
Driving downhill
The vehicle cannot maintain the saved speed in all driving situations. Always be ready to apply the brakes.
1. Downshift before traveling downhill for extended periods.
This will enable you to utilize the engine braking effect and reduce the load on the brakes.
WARNING
Using the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can result in accidents and serious or fatal
injuries.
● Always adapt your speed to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. The driver is always responsible for
the speed of the vehicle.
● Do not drive at top speed unless necessary.
● Never use the speed limiter when driving on slippery surfaces, e.g. due to hydroplaning, snow, ice, leaves.
● To prevent unintended regulation, switch off the speed limiter if you do not need it.
