The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is
level with the tra c sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adapted according to the speed permit-
ted within the urban area. The speed limit display
in the driver display is always updated when the
vehicle is level with the tra c sign.
If you are driving on German highways and there
is no speed limit, the system uses the speed
stored for a stretch of road with no speed limit as
the set speed. If you do not alter the stored speed

on a stretch of road with no speed limit, the rec-
ommended speed of 80 mph (130 km/h) is adop-

If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put

set speed are adopted.
The maximum permissible speed does not take
the road condition and current weather and tra c

accordingly, when necessary.
