A speed limiter (SL ) can be likened to a reverse
cruise control - the driver regulates the speed
using the accelerator pedal but is prevented
from accidentally exceeding a pre-selected/set
maximum speed by the speed limiter.

WARNING
•
The Speed Limiter function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
The driver must always pay attention to
traffic conditions and take action if the
Speed Limiter is not maintaining a suita-
ble speed.
•
The Speed Limiter is not a substitute for
the driver's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring
the car is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
DRIVER SUPPORT
Limitations
On steep downhill gradients the speed limiter's
braking effect may be inadequate and hence the
stored maximum speed may be exceeded. In this
case, the driver is alerted by the message
limit exceeded in the driver display.
NOTE
A text message that the maximum speed is
exceeded will be activated if the speed has
been exceeded by at least 3 km/h
(approx. 2 mph).
