Speed limiter

Introduction
The speed limited helps the driver not to ex-
ceed a set speed.
Speed range
The speed limiter helps avoid exceeding a
programmed speed, from 30 km/h (20 mph)
approx. and faster.
By selecting the speed limiter
The speed limitation can be interrupted at
any time by depressing the accelerator ped-
al fully, beyond the point of resistance. As
soon as the saved speed is exceeded, the
green indicator light flashes and an audible
warning signal may sound. The speed is stor-
ed.
The limiter is reactivated automatically after
returning to less than the set speed.

Driving down slopes
Shift into a low gear before descending a

and relieves the brakes.

er to prevent the speed being regulated
against your wishes.
The speed limiter does not relieve the

appropriate speed. Do not drive at high
speed if not necessary.
Using the speed limiter under adverse
●
weather conditions is dangerous and can
cause serious accidents, e.g. aquaplaning,
snow, ice, leaves, etc. Only use the speed
limiter when the status of the road and the
weather conditions allow it.
