Mercedes-Benz V 200 4MATIC 2015, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 184 / 360

You must not exceed the speed limit for the
tyres specified by the speed rating. The speed
rating is stated in the tyre tables (
Y
page 340).
You can permanently limit the maximum speed
of your vehicle, e.g. for driving on winter tyres.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
maximum permissible speed programmed at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
On vehicles with SPEEDTRONIC, you can tem-
porarily or permanently limit the maximum
speed of your vehicle using the on-board com-
puter (
Y
page 188).
Before overtaking, take into consideration that
the engine speed limiter prevents the speed
increasing beyond the programmed maximum
speed.
On downhill gradients, the speed limitation may
be exceeded. Apply the brakes if necessary.
Display messages indicate that you are
approaching the limit speed.
Driving abroad
Service
An extensive network of Mercedes-Benz Service
Centres is also at your disposal when you are
travelling abroad. Nevertheless, please bear in
mind that service facilities or replacement parts
may not always be immediately available. The
workshop directories are available from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Fuel
In some countries, only fuels with a higher sul-
phur content are available.
Unsuitable fuel can cause engine damage. You
will find information about fuel under "Service
products and capacities" (
Y
page 345).
AdBlue
®
AdBlue
®
of a suitable quality is not available in
every country. Therefore, before taking a trip
with your vehicle outside Europe, check the
AdBlue
®
level (
Y
page 243). Consult a qualified
specialist workshop.

Dipped-beam headlamps
General notes
When driving in countries in which traffic drives
on the opposite side of the road to the country
where the vehicle is registered, you must switch
the headlamps to symmetrical dipped beam.
This prevents oncoming traffic from being daz-
zled. Symmetrical dipped beam does not illumi-
nate as large an area of the edge of the carria-
geway.
Vehicles with halogen headlamps
The headlamps do not need to be switched to
symmetrical dipped beam. The legal require-
ments of countries in which traffic drives on the
opposite side of the road to the country where
the vehicle is registered are met without the
need to convert the headlamps.
Vehicles with LED headlamps
You can switch over the dipped-beam head-
lamps via the
Settings
menu in the on-board
computer. In the
Lights
submenu, use the
function Dipped Beam Settings for to switch
between
right-side traffic
and
left-
side traffic
(
Y
page 246).
You can also have the dipped-beam headlamps
switched over at a qualified specialist workshop.
X
On your outbound journey, switch over the
dipped-beam headlamps before crossing the
border; on your return journey, switch the
headlamps back as close to the border as
possible.
If your vehicle's current setting differs from its
country specifications, then motorway mode
and the extended range foglamps are unavail-
able.
Transport by rail
Transporting your vehicle by rail may be subject
to certain restrictions or require special meas-
ures to be taken in some countries due to vary-
ing tunnel heights and loading standards.
You can obtain information about this from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
