Speed limiter
Introduction
The Speed Limiter limits the maximum driving speed to the set speed limit.
The speed limit can only be exceeded by depressing the accelerator pedal fully.
The condition in which the Speed Limiter prevents a potential set speed limit
excess is referred to as Regulation.

Control active (in the colour display the digits of the speed limits are high-
lighted).

System fault - seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Basic requirements for start of control
The Speed Limiter is activated.
The current speed is greater than approx. 30 km/h.
After starting the system, the current speed is set as the speed limit and the
warning light
lights up in the instrument cluster.
Exceeding the speed limit during the regulation
If, during the control, it is necessary to exceed the speed limit (e.g. to over-
take), the accelerator pedal must be pressed fully.
When the speed limit is exceeded (e.g. driving down a hill), an acoustic signal
sounds and warning light
flashes in the instrument cluster.
Regulation resumes once the speed has fallen below the set limit.
