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 (
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the multifunction display. When you
confirm the message with %, display mes‐

DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
Function of DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
DSR is an aid to assist you when driving down‐
hill. It keeps the speed of travel at the selected
target speed. The steeper the downhill gradient,
the greater the DSR braking effect on the vehi‐
cle. On flat stretches of road and uphill gradi‐
ents, the DSR brakes the vehicle minimally or
not at all.
When DSR is activated and the transmission is in
position h, k or i, DSR controls the driving
speed. The target speed can be set to a value
between 2 km/h and 18 km/h. By braking or
accelerating, you can drive at a higher or lower
speed than the target speed at any time.
DSR deactivates automatically in the following
situations:
