SPEEDTRONIC
General notes
SPEEDTRONIC brakes automatically so that you
do not exceed the set speed. Shift to a lower
gear in good time on long and steep downhill
gradients. Take particular note of this when driv-
ing 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 pre-
vents the brakes from overheating and wearing
too quickly.

Important safety notes

If you fail to adapt your driving style, SPEED-
TRONIC can neither reduce the risk of an acci-
dent nor override the laws of physics. SPEED-
TRONIC cannot take into account road, weather
or traffic conditions. SPEEDTRONIC 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.
If a new driver takes over, advise the new driver
of the speed stored.
You can set a variable or permanent limit speed:
variable for speed limits, e.g. in built-up areas
R
permanent for long-term speed restrictions,
R
e.g. when driving with winter tyres fitted
( page 130)

The speed indicated in the speedometer
