Information on the 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 between
160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys-
tem ( page 273).
/
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the driver's display. When you confirm
the message, display messages no longer appear
until you switch off the vehicle. The speed will
passive only be displayed again once the vehicle has been
restarted or if the set speed is changed.
The permanent limiter does not switch to passive
mode even during kickdown and the driven speed
remains below the set speed.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
set speed when driving freely. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
the distance to the vehicle in front and the set
speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in
front are set and saved using the steering wheel.
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist is available in
the speed range from 20 km/h - 210 km/h.
