Important safety notes
SPEEDTRONIC helps you to avoid exceeding a
set speed. On long and steep downhill gradients,
especially if the vehicle is laden or towing a
trailer, make sure you shift to a lower gear in
good time. This utilises the braking effect of the
engine. SPEEDTRONIC may exceed the set
speed on downhill gradients.
