Mercedes-Benz V-Class 2021 Owner's Manual page 166

If you accelerate the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal, a message with the stored speed is shown
in the multifunction display shortly before the set
limit speed is reached.
The permanent limiter remains active even if the
variable limiter is deactivated. The permanent
limiter does not switch to passive mode even dur‐
ing kickdown and the driven speed remains
below the set speed.

DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
Notes on DSR
DSR supports you when driving downhill. DSR
maintains a set speed for you on downhill gradi‐
ents by applying the brakes as required. Main‐
taining the speed is dependent on the road sur‐
face conditions and the downhill gradient and
cannot therefore be guaranteed in all situations.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers ( page 155).
/
You can set the speed to between 4 km/h and
18 km/h using the brake and accelerator pedals
or the cruise control lever.
DSR automatically controls in the following situa‐
tions:
If the vehicle is stationary, or its speed is less
R
than 4 km/h , the speed is set to 4 km/h or it
is set to the minimum speed for the respec‐
tive gear range.
If you drive faster than 18 km/h off-road, DSR
R
switches to standby mode. DSR remains acti‐
vated, but does not brake automatically.
If you drive downhill slower than 18 km/h,
R
DSR sets the speed to the previously set
speed.
If you drive faster than 45 km/h, DSR
R
switches off automatically.

Activating/deactivating DSR
Requirements:
you are driving at 40 km/h or the vehicle is
R
stationary.
Activating DSR
Press the 1 button.
#
The indicator lamp in the button is lit when
DSR is switched on.
Brake or accelerate the vehicle to the desired
#
speed between 4 km/h and 18 km/h.
Release the brake or accelerator pedal.
#
The current speed is stored. When stationary,
4 km/h or the minimum possible speed for
each gear range is stored. DSR maintains the
stored speed on the downhill gradient and
brakes automatically.
When DSR is activated and the vehicle pulls
away, accelerates or brakes on an incline, the
speed set corresponds to the speed at which the
accelerator or brake pedal is released or the
cruise control lever is operated during DSR regu‐
lation. This is only the case if you are not driving
faster than 18 km/h.
