If you brake, deactivate ESP
intervenes, cruise control is deactivated. The
variable limiter is not deactivated.
Permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a specific
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
You do this by limiting the speed between
160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys‐
tem ( page 190).
/
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the multifunction display. When you
confirm the message, display messages no lon‐
ger appear until you switch off the vehicle. The
speed will only be displayed again once the vehi‐
cle has been restarted or if the set speed is
changed.
The permanent limiter does not switch to pas‐
sive mode even during kickdown and the driven
speed remains below the set speed.
