Limitations for speed limiter
Speed limiter (SL
19
) has certain general limi-
tations.
On steep downhill gradients the speed limit-
er’s (SL
20 ) 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).

Automatic speed limiter
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL
21
) function
helps the driver to adapt the car's maximum
speed to the speed shown on the road signs.
The Speed Limiter function (SL 22 ) can be
changed to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL).
The automatic speed limiter uses speed infor-
mation from the Road Sign Information
*
(RSI
23
) function to automatically adapt the
car's maximum speed.
WARNING
Even if the driver clearly sees the speed-
related road sign, the speed information
from the Road Sign Information
*
(RSI)
function to ASL may be incorrect – in such
cases the driver must intervene him/herself
and accelerate or brake to a suitable speed.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
