Permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a specific

between 160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multi‐

appears in the multifunction display. When you

vehicle. The speed will only be displayed again
once the vehicle has been restarted.
The permanent limiter does not switch to pas‐
sive mode even during kickdown and the driven
speed remains below the set speed.
