Speed limiter* - alarm for speed
exceeded
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a
reverse cruise control - the driver regulates
the speed using the accelerator pedal but is
prevented from accidentally exceeding a
pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter.
On steep roads the speed limiter's engine
braking effect may be inadequate and the
selected maximum speed is exceeded. The
driver is alerted about this with an acoustic
signal. The signal is active until the driver has
slowed to below the selected maximum
speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds
if the speed has been exceeded by at least
3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the
last half minute.

Speed limiter* - deactivation

A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a
reverse cruise control - the driver regulates
the speed using the accelerator pedal but is
prevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-
selected/set speed by the speed limiter.
To deactivate the speed limiter:
–
Press the steering wheel button
> The combined instrument panel's (p.
191) symbol for the speed limiter and
the mark for the set speed are extin-
guished. The selected and stored
speed are thus deleted from the mem-
ory and cannot be resumed with the
button.
The driver can then use the accelerator
pedal to choose a speed without limi-
tation.

Cruise control*

The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps
the driver maintain an even speed, resulting in
more relaxing driving on motorways and long,
straight roads with regular traffic flows.
