mended by range monitoring or up to the set win-
ter tyre limit.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (

Displays in the driver's display
R
h (grey): cruise control is selected but not
yet active, or temporarily passive.
R
h (green): cruise control is active.
A stored speed appears under the h display
and is indicated in the speedometer.
System limits
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Increase recuperation in good time on long and
steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of
this when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you
will make use of the electric motor's braking
effect to charge the high-voltage battery. This
relieves the load on the brake system and pre-
vents the brakes from overheating and wearing
too quickly.
Do not use cruise control in the following situa-
tions:
R
in traffic situations which require frequent
changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on
winding roads
R
on slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle
could then skid.
R
when visibility is poor
▌ Function of the limiter
The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To
reduce the speed to the set speed, the limiter
applies the brakes automatically.
You can limit the speed as follows:
R
Variable: for a short-term speed restriction,
e.g. in built-up areas
R
Permanent: for a longer-term speed restric-
tion, e.g. in winter tyre mode
You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the
maximum design speed or up to the set winter
tyre limit. You can also perform settings while the
vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been star-
ted.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (

Displays in the driver's display
R
È
(grey): variable limiter is selected but not
yet activated.
R
È
(flashes grey): variable limiter is tempo-
rarily passive.
R
È
(green): variable limiter is activated.
A stored speed appears under the
È
display
and is indicated in the speedometer.
If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point (kickdown), the variable limiter
switches to passive mode. The
È
passive
message appears in the driver's display and the
È
display flashes.
The variable limiter is reactivated in the following
situations:
R
If the vehicle speed drops below the stored
speed.
R
If the stored speed is called up.
R
If you store a new speed.
