Permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a specific
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
You do this by limiting the speed to a value
between 160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multi‐
media system ( page 190).
/
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the multifunction display. When you
confirm the message with %, display mes‐
sages no longer appear until you switch off the
vehicle. The speed will only be displayed again
once the vehicle has been restarted or if the set
speed is changed.
The permanent limiter does not switch to pas‐
sive mode even during kickdown and the driven
speed remains below the set speed.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles in
front are detected, the set distance is main‐
tained, if necessary, until the vehicle comes to a
halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depend‐
ing on the distance to the vehicle in front and
the set speed. The speed (in the range between
20 km/h and 200 km/h) and the distance to the
vehicle in front are set and saved on the steering
wheel.
Other features of Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC:
Adjusts the driving style depending on the
R
selected drive program (fuel-saving, comfort‐
able or dynamic) ( page 150)
/
Initiates acceleration to the stored speed if
R
the turn signal indicator is switched on to
change to the overtaking lane.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is only an aid.
The driver is responsible for keeping a safe dis‐
tance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed
and for braking in good time.
