Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal to
change lanes is switched on and one of the fol‐
lowing situations is detected:
Turning off at intersections
R
On slowing-down lanes
R
On lanes adjacent to slowing-down lanes
R
The driver is responsible for choosing the right
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular to intersections, traffic cir‐
cles and sets of traffic lights, as route-based
speed adaptation does not brake the vehicle to a
standstill.
When route guidance is active, the first speed
adjustment is carried out automatically. If the
turn signal indicator is switched on, the selected
route is confirmed and further speed adjustment
is activated.
Speed adjustment is canceled in the following
cases:
If the turn signal indicator is switched off
R
before the route event.
If the driver depresses the accelerator or
R
brake pedal during the process.
System limitations
Route-based speed adaptation does not take
right of way regulations into account. The driver
is responsible for complying with road traffic
regulations and driving at a suitable speed.
In difficult conditions (e.g. unclear roads, narrow
lanes, wet road surfaces, snow or ice) or when
driving with a trailer, the speed adjustment made
by the system may not always be suitable. In
these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.

route-based speed adjustment

function or be temporarily unavailable in the
following situations:
