A stored speed appears under the

and is indicated in the speedometer.
Syst
System limits em 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
e ect 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 tra c situations which require frequent
changes of speed, e.g. in heavy tra c, 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
FFunction of t unction of the limit he limiter er
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
VVar ariable: iable: for a short-term speed restriction,
e.g. in built-up areas
R
PPer ermanent manent:: 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 (

Mer Mercedes‑ cedes‑AMG v AMG vehicles: ehicles: the limiter is available
up to a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point (kickdown), the variable limiter
switches to passive mode. The

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.
