Operating cruise control or the variable limiter
WARNING Risk of accident due to stored speed

If you call up the stored speed and this is lower than your current speed, the vehicle decelerates.

Take into account the traffic situation before calling up the stored speed.
Requirements:
Cruise control

  • Cruise control is selected.

  • ESP® is activated, but may not intervene.

  • The driving speed is at least 20 km/h.

Variable limiter

  • The vehicle has been started.

  • The variable limiter is selected.

push rocker switch down.

Vehicles with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC: the variable limiter is selected using a different button More.

Activating cruise control or the variable limiter

Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.

The current speed is stored and the vehicle maintains this speed (cruise control) or does not exceed it (variable limiter).

Press rocker switch up or down to the pressure point.

The stored speed is increased or reduced by 1 km/h.

or

Vehicles with manual transmission: if the engine speed is very low, cruise control or the limiter is deactivated. When the transmission is in neutral or the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than six seconds, cruise control is deactivated.

Adopting the detected speed

If cruise control/the variable limiter is activated and Traffic Sign Assist has detected a speed restriction sign, and this maximum permissible speed is displayed in the instrument display:

Push rocker switch up.

The maximum permissible speed shown by the traffic sign is stored and the vehicle maintains or does not exceed this speed.

Press rocker switch (CNCL) down.
The following settings are possible when cruise control or the variable limiter is deactivated:

  • rocker switch or stores the current speed and the vehicle maintains this speed.

  • rocker switch (RES) calls up the last speed stored and the vehicle maintains this speed.

If you brake, deactivate ESP® or if ESP® intervenes, cruise control is deactivated. The variable limiter is not deactivated.

When you switch off the vehicle, the last speed stored is cleared.
