Speed limiter
Introduction to the topic
The speed limiter helps to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding a speed that you have stored.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards
at speeds from approx. 30 km/h (20 mph).
Driving with the speed limiter
You can interrupt the speed limiter function at any
time by fully depressing the accelerator beyond the
point of resistance. The green indicator lamp
flashes and an acoustic warning may sound when
the stored speed is exceeded. The speed remains
stored in the memory.
The speed limiter function is activated again auto-
matically as soon as the speed drops below the stor-
ed speed.
Displays
When the speed limiter is switched on, the instru-
ment cluster display shows the stored speed and the
status of the speed limiter.
Depending on the situation and the instrument clus-
ter version, the following warning lamps light up:
The speed limiter is switched on.
Speed limiter switched on, system
control active.
The indicator lamps are displayed small or grey
when the speed limiter is not active.
Driving downhill
Driving downhill may cause the set speed to be ex-
ceeded.
Apply the foot brake to slow the vehicle down, and
change down a gear as required.
WARNING
Always switch off the speed limiter after use to
avoid unintentional speed regulation.
x
The speed limiter does not relieve the driver of
his responsibility for the speed of the vehicle.
Do not drive at full throttle if it is not required.
x
Use of the speed limiter in adverse weather
conditions is dangerous and can cause serious
injury, e.g. through aquaplaning, snow, ice, or
or
leaves. Use the speed limiter only when the
road and weather conditions allow it to be used
safely.
