Permanent Speedtronic is only available
for certain countries.
You can use the on-board computer to limit
the speed permanently to a value between
160 km/h (e.g. for driving with winter tyres)
and the maximum speed.
Shortly before the stored speed is reached, it
is displayed in the multi-function display.
You cannot exceed the stored limit speed,
even if you depress the accelerator pedal
beyond the pressure point (kickdown).

Driving systems
Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away
on uphill gradients. It causes the vehicle to be
held for a short time after you have removed
your foot from the brake pedal. This allows
you enough time to move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal and pull
away without the vehicle rolling backwards.
G Risk of accident
Never leave the vehicle if it is being braked
by the hill start assist function. After around
one second the hill start assist function will
no longer brake your vehicle and it can roll
away.
Depress the brake pedal.
