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's display is always updated when the
vehicle is level with the tra c sign.
If you are driving on German motorways 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 130 km/h is adopted.
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adopted.
The maximum permissible speed does not take
the road condition and current weather and tra c
conditions into account. Adjust your speed
accordingly, when necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (
page 189).
