–
Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The combined instrument panel shows
the stored maximum speed with a col-
oured mark (5) and the driver can tempo-
rarily exceed the set maximum speed -
the mark (5) changes colour during this
time from GREEN to WHITE.
The speed limiter is automatically reacti-
vated after the release of the accelerator
pedal and the car's speed is slowed down
to below the selected/stored maximum
speed - the display's mark (5) changes
colour from WHITE to GREEN and the
car's maximum speed is again limited.

Speed limiter
*
- alarm for speed
exceeded
A Speed Limiter (Speed Limiter) can be regar-
ded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regu-
lates the speed using the accelerator pedal but
is prevented by the speed limiter from acciden-
tally exceeding a speed that is selected/set in
advance.
On a steep downhill gradient the speed limiter's
engine braking effect may be inadequate and the
selected maximum speed is exceeded. The driver
is alerted about this with an acoustic signal.
The signal is active until the driver has slowed to
below the selected maximum speed.
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if
the speed has been exceeded by at least
3 km/h (approx. 2 mph), provided that neither
of the
or
buttons has been depressed
during the last half minute.

Speed limiter
*
- deactivation
A Speed Limiter (Speed Limiter) can be regar-
ded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regu-
lates the speed using the accelerator pedal but
is prevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-
selected/set speed by the speed limiter.
To deactivate the speed limiter:
–
Press the steering wheel button
.
> The combined instrument panel's symbol
for speed limiter (6) and the selection of
the set speed (5) both extinguish - the
set/stored speed is thus cleared and can-
not then be resumed with the
button.
The driver can then use the accelerator
pedal to choose a speed without limita-
tion.
