Speed limiter
*
A speed limiter (Speed Limiter — SL) can be
regarded as a reverse cruise control — the
driver regulates the speed using the accelerator
pedal but is prevented by the speed limiter from
accidentally exceeding a pre-selected/preset
maximum speed.

WARNING
The Speed Limiter is an aid and cannot deal
with all traffic, weather and road conditions.
The driver must always pay attention to traffic
conditions and take action when the Speed
Limiter is not maintaining a suitable speed.
The driver always has the ultimate responsibil-
ity for the car being driven safely and in
accordance with applicable traffic rules and
regulations, even when the Speed Limiter
function is in use.
Limitations
On steep downhill gradients the speed limiter’s
braking effect may be inadequate and hence the
stored maximum speed may be exceeded. In this
case, the driver is alerted by the message
Speed
limit exceeded in the driver display.
NOTE
A text message that the maximum speed is
exceeded will be activated if the speed has
been exceeded by at least 3 km/h
(approx. 2 mph).
