7.11 VARIABLE SPEED LIMITER
The variable speed limiter allows the vehicle speed to be limited to a speed set by the
driver.
The variable speed limiter can be engaged once the vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h
(16 mph).
NOTE: When the variable speed limiter is engaged, the cruise control
function is deactivated.
Using the variable speed limiter
The variable speed limiter is set using the steering wheel switches. See section
'Steering wheel switches' in chapter 'Instruments and controls'.
With the variable speed limiter activated, the vehicle speed can be increased up to the
set limit. When driving downhill, the vehicle speed is limited to 2 km/h above the set
limit by automatically engaging the engine brake and/or the intarder (DSC function).
Disengaging the variable speed limiter
The variable speed limiter is
disengaged when:
– The switch (4) is pressed.
– The accelerator pedal is temporarily
fully depressed, whereby the kick-
down switch in the accelerator
pedal sensor is operated. For
instance, to enable a passing or
dodging manoeuvre.
NOTE: The vehicle
speed limiting function is
activated again when the
vehicle speed falls below
the variable speed limit
saved last. This speed is
shown in the
speedometer display
while the variable speed
limiter function is active.
