1st pressure point in the haptic accelerator pedal indicates an efficient, economical driving style.
when the route option Electric Intelligence is switched on and route guidance is active, a chequered flag in the speedometer indicates the maximum permissible speed recommended by active range monitoring . It is the driver's own responsibility to comply with them in order to reach the next scheduled charging station .
(MaxRange) maximum range and consumption optimisation

1st pressure point in the haptic accelerator pedal:
automatically limits the speed to the maximum permissible speed detected by the Traffic Sign Assist
additionally limits the speed to the maximum permissible speed recommended by active range monitoring when the route option Electric Intelligence is on and the route guidance is active, in order to reach the next scheduled charging station.
If the Traffic Sign Assist does not detect a maximum permissible speed and range monitoring is inactive, the last specified maximum permissible speed is used as the limit speed. The maximum limit speed set by the 1st pressure point is 140 km/h.
The limit speed set by the 1st pressure point is shown in the speedometer. The segments between the currently driven speed and the limit speed light up in green. For efficiency reasons, small deviations between the currently driven speed and the limit speed are permitted.
If you step on the accelerator pedal beyond the 1st pressure point, the limit speed is deactivated. The green segments in the speedometer are not shown. When the accelerator pedal is positioned in front of the 1st pressure point again, the limit speed is reactivated, thus making sure that the maximum permissible speed is maintained again.
If a vehicle in front is detected, the speed is reduced in order to follow the vehicle in front at an adjusted distance.
If the vehicle detects road and traffic conditions that require deceleration, the vehicle is no longer driven and coasts. To decelerate the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal. How much the vehicle automatically decelerates when the accelerator pedal is released depends on the set recuperation level More. In , deceleration is automatic where there are vehicles in front, traffic signs, roundabouts and bends. In all other recuperation levels, a permanently defined overrun torque is set. If the situation calls for it, you must also depress the brake pedal regardless of the selected recuperation level.
If you activate the Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC or the cruise control in drive program , the limit speed is deactivated by the 1st pressure point. If you deactivate the function again, the limit speed set by the pressure point is switched on again.
, the speed is limited by both and the limiter: if the speed stored in the limiter is higher than the limit speed of
, the vehicle accelerates up to the speed stored in the limiter when you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the 1st pressure point. If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the 2nd pressure point (kickdown), the vehicle continues to accelerate without any limitation. if the speed stored by the limiter is lower than or equal to the limit speed of
, then the speed is limited by both the 1st and the 2nd pressure points to the speed stored by the limiter. If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the 2nd pressure point (kickdown), the vehicle continues to accelerate without any limitation.
The functions of the drive program are only tools. The driver is responsible for maintaining a sufficiently safe distance to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed and for braking in good time.
if visibility is poor, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
if there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections.
If there is dirt on the windscreen in the area of the multifunction camera or the camera is misted up, damaged or obscured.
if traffic signs are hard to discern, e.g. due to dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or because they are obscured.
if radar sensors More are dirty, covered up or damaged.
