R
Tra c jams ahead (only with Live Tra c )
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi-
cator is switched on and one of the following sit-
uations is detected:
R
Turning o at junctions
R
Driving on slowing-down lanes
R
Driving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down
lanes
The driver is responsible for choosing the right
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular to junctions, roundabouts and
tra c lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
If a corresponding route event is detected while
route guidance is active, the rst speed adjust-
ment is carried out automatically. If the turn signal
indicator is switched on, the selected route is
con rmed and further speed adjustment is activa-
ted.
Speed adaptation is cancelled in the following
cases:
R
If the turn signal indicator is switched o
before the route event and it is therefore
assumed that the route event is not relevant
to the driver.
R
If the driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
Syst System limits em limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is
responsible for complying with road tra c regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.
In di cult conditions, the speed selection made
by the system may not always be suitable. This
applies to the following situations, for example:
R
unclear roads
R
road narrowing
R
varying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
vidual lanes, for example at toll stations
R
wet road surfaces, snow or ice
R
if transport equipment, for example a trailer or
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch
and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.

W WARNING ARNING Risk of accident in spite of
route-based speed adaptation
Route-based speed adaptation can malfunc-
tion or be temporarily unavailable in the fol-
lowing situations:
R
If the driver does not follow the calculated
route
R
If map data is not up-to-date or available
R
In the event of roadworks
R
In bad weather or road conditions
R
If the accelerator pedal is depressed
R
In the event of electronically displayed
speed limitations
#
Adapt the speed to the tra c situation.
