Temporary deactivation of speed
limiter
17
The speed limiter (SL
) can be temporarily
deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation with the
accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be temporarily
deactivated and overridden with the accelera-
tor pedal without the speed limiter first having
to be set in standby mode - e.g. to be able to
quickly accelerate the car out of a situation.
In which case, proceed as follows:
1.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
release it to interrupt acceleration when
the desired speed has been reached.
> In this mode, the speed limiter is still
activated and the driver display's sym-
bol is therefore WHITE.
2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when
the temporary acceleration is finished.
> The car is then engine-braked automat-
ically to below the last stored maximum
speed.

Limitations for speed limiter
Speed limiter (SL
18
) has certain general limi-
tations.
On steep downhill gradients the speed limit-
er's (SL
19
) braking effect may be inadequate
and hence the stored maximum speed may be
exceeded. In this case, the driver is alerted by
Speed limit exceeded
the message
driver display.
NOTE
A text message that the maximum speed is
exceeded will be activated if the speed has
been exceeded by at least 3 km/h
(approx. 2 mph).
