temporarily exceed the set maximum
speed.
The speed limiter is re-activated by one
press on at which the display's
brackets disappear and the car's maxi-
mum speed is again limited.
Temporary deactivation with the
accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be set in standby
mode with the accelerator pedal, e.g. for rap-
idly accelerating the car out of a situation:
–
Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The display shows the stored maximum
speed in brackets (5) and the driver can
temporarily exceed the set maximum
speed.
The speed limiter is automatically re-
activated after the release of the accel-
erator pedal and the car's speed is
slowed down to below the selected/
stored maximum speed - the display's
brackets disappear and the car's maxi-
mum speed is again limited.
Alarm for speed exceeded
On steep roads the engine braking effect may
be inadequate and the selected maximum
speed exceeded. The driver is alerted about
this with an acoustic signal.
The signal is active until the driver has slowed
to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds
if the speed has been exceeded by at least
3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the last
half minute.
Deactivate
To deactivate the speed limiter:
–
Press the steering wheel button
> The display's symbol for the speed lim-
iter and the set speed (5) are cleared.
The selected and stored speed are thus
deleted from the memory and cannot be
resumed with the button.
The driver can then use the accelerator
pedal to choose a speed without limita-
tion.
