The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To adjust to the set speed quickly, the limiter applies the brakes automatically.
Variable: for speed restrictions, e.g. in built-up areas.
Permanent: for long-term speed restrictions, e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode.
You can operate the variable limiter with the cruise control lever. You can store any speed above 30 km/h. You can also perform settings while the vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been started.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, the limiter can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. The limiter is only an aid. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time and for staying in your lane.
If you change wheel size on your vehicle, check it is assigned to the correct wheel size category More. If the category is changed without recoding the control units in the vehicle, the functioning of the limiter may be impaired.
If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown), the limiter switches to passive mode. The multifunction display then shows a message and you are able to exceed the stored speed.
If the driven speed drops below the stored speed.
If the stored speed is called up.
If you store a new speed.
