System limitations
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lower gear in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular
note of this when driving a laden vehicle. 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 overheat‐
ing and wearing too quickly.
Do not use cruise control in the following situa‐
tions:
R
In traffic situations which require frequent
changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on
winding roads.
R
On slippery roads. Accelerating can cause
the drive wheels to lose traction and the
vehicle could then skid.
R
If you are driving when visibility is poor.
Function of the limiter
The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To
reduce the speed swiftly to the set speed, the
limiter applies the brakes automatically.
You can limit the speed as follows:
R
Variable: for speed limits, e.g. in built-up
areas.
R
Permanent: for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode.
The variable limiter is operated using the corre‐
sponding steering wheel buttons. You can store
any road speed above 20 km/h up to the maxi‐
mum road speed or to the set winter tyre limit.
You can also perform settings while the vehicle
is stationary if the vehicle has been started.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, the limiter
can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor
override the laws of physics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions. The
limiter 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 staying
in lane.
Displays in the Instrument Display
The status of the limiter and the stored speed
are shown in the multifunction display.
1 Limiter is selected
2
Speed is stored, limiter is deactivated
3 Speed is stored, limiter is activated
% The segments in the speedometer light up,
up to the currently stored speed.
% When the driving speed is greater than the
stored speed, display 3 flashes.
Kickdown
If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point (kickdown), the limiter switches
to passive mode. The Limiter passive message
appears in the multifunction display.
