Switch the speed limiter off temporarily by
pressing down the accelerator (kick-down)
If the accelerator is pressed right down (kick-
down) and the set speed is exceeded be-
cause driver wishes to do so, the limiter is
temporarily disabled.
To confirm it being switched off an acoustic
signal sound once. While the limiter is off,
the warning and control lamp  flashes.
When the accelerator is no longer pressed
down and the speed is reduced below the set
value, the limiter switches on again. The con-
trol lamp  will light up and remain lit.
Automatic off
The speed limiter is automatically switched
off:
● If the system detects a fault that could neg-
atively affect the working order of the limiter.
● If the airbag is triggered.
CAUTION
For automatic switching off due to system
failures, for security reasons, the limiter is
only completely switched off when the driver
stops pressing the accelerator at some point
or consciously switches off the system.
Driver assistance systems
Emergency brake assist system
(Front Assist)*
Topic introduction
On the instrument panel display:

pre-warning messages.
The objective of the emergency brake assist
system is to prevent head-on collisions
against objects that may be in the vehicle's
path or minimise the consequences of such
impacts.
Within the limitations imposed by the envi-
ronmental conditions and by the system it-
self, the function acts in staggered fashion,
depending on how critical the situation is. In-
itially it warns the driver, and if the driver's
reaction does not occur or is insufficient, it
activates an independent emergency brak-
ing.
The function is intended to prevent collisions
with parked vehicles or vehicles in the same
lane travelling in the same direction, or with
pedestrians crossing the vehicle's path. It
may fail to activate in other danger situa-
tions.
The Front Assist function is active within a
range of speeds between 4 km/h (2.5 mph)
and 250 km/h (156 mph). Depending on
speed, traffic conditions and driver behav-
iour, some of the sub-functions described be-
low are omitted in order to optimise the sys-
tem's general behaviour.
The Front Assist is a driving assistance func-
tion that can never replace the driver's atten-
tion.
Safety distance warning
If the system detects a situation of danger
because the vehicle is too close to the vehi-
cle ahead, it will warn the driver by means of
an indication on the instrument panel display
.
The timing of the warning varies depending
on driver behaviour and the traffic situation.
Advance warning
If the system detects a possible collision with
the vehicle in front, it may alert the driver by
means of an audible warning and an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display
