switch off the engine.
SPEEDTRONIC
General notes
SPEEDTRONIC is used to set a speed limit for
your vehicle. If the vehicle speed exceeds the
set speed limit, SPEEDTRONIC brakes automat-
ically. Shift to a lower gear in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular
note of this when driving a laden vehicle and
when towing a trailer. By doing so, you will make
use of the braking effect of the engine. This
relieves the load on the brake system and pre-
vents the brakes from overheating and wearing
too quickly.
Important safety notes
SPEEDTRONIC can neither reduce the risk of an
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. SPEEDTRONIC
cannot take into account road, weather or traffic
conditions. SPEEDTRONIC is only an aid. You
are responsible for maintaining a safe distance
from the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for
braking in good time and for staying in 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 restrictions,
e.g. when driving with winter tyres fitted

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