SPEEDTRONIC
Important safety notes
SPEEDTRONIC brakes automatically so that
you do not exceed the set speed. You must
select a low gear in good time on long and
steep downhill gradients, especially if the
vehicle is laden or towing a trailer. On vehicles
with automatic transmission, select shift
range
1, 2 or 3. By doing so, you will make
use of the braking effect of the engine. This
relieves the load on the brake system and
prevents the brakes from overheating and
wearing too quickly. If you need additional
braking, depress the brake pedal repeatedly
rather than continuously.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, SPEED-
TRONIC can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics.
SPEEDTRONIC cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions. SPEED-
TRONIC is only an aid. You are responsible for
the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, for braking in good time, and for stay-
ing in the lane.
If there is a change of drivers, advise the new
driver of the speed stored.
You can set a variable or permanent limit
speed:
R
variable for speed limits, e.g. in built-up
areas
R
permanent for long-term speed restric-
tions, e.g. when driving with winter tyres
fitted (

i The speed indicated in the speedometer
may differ slightly from the limit speed
stored.
