Introduction
The speed limiter helps you to stop exceeding a selected speed.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards at speeds of approx. 30 km/h(around 20 mph) and above.
Driving with the speed limiter
You can interrupt the speed limiter at any time by depressing the accelerator all the way down until you meet
resistance. As soon as the stored speed is exceeded, the green indicator lamp will flash and an acoustic warning may
sound. The speed is stored in the memory.
The speed control function switches back on automatically as soon as the speed drops back 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:
Speed limiter switched on, control active.
Speed limiter switched on, 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
Always switch off the speed limiter after use to avoid unwanted control operations.
● The speed limiter does not relieve the driver of their responsibility for the speed of the vehicle. Do not drive at full
throttle if it is not required.
● Use of the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can cause serious injury, e.g. through
aquaplaning, snow, ice, or leaves. Use the speed limiter only when the road and weather conditions allow it to be
used safely.
