Risk of accident
If there is a change of drivers, advise the new
driver of the limit speed stored.
Only use Speedtronic when you do not have
to accelerate suddenly to a speed higher than
the stored limit speed allows. You could, oth-
erwise, cause an accident.
You can only exceed the limit speed stored if
you deactivate variable Speedtronic:
R
using the cruise control lever
R
by depressing the accelerator pedal
beyond the pressure point (kickdown)
It is not possible to deactivate variable Speed-
tronic by braking.

tronic brakes automatically in order to avoid
exceeding the set speed. As it does so, the
brake pedal is depressed. Do not place your

the speed to any speed above 30 km/h while
the engine is running.
