vents the brakes from overheating and wearing
too quickly.
Do not use cruise control in the following situa-
tions:
in tra c situations which require frequent
R
changes of speed, e.g. in heavy tra c, on
winding roads
on slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the
R
drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle
could then skid.

The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To
reduce the speed to the set speed, the limiter
applies the brakes automatically.
You can limit the speed as follows:
V V ar ariable:
iable: for a short-term speed restriction,
R
e.g. in built-up areas
P P er ermanent

tion, e.g. in winter tyre mode
You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the
maximum design speed or up to the set winter
tyre limit. You can also perform settings while the
vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been star-
ted.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (
