Speed Limiter Limitations
On steep downhill gradients the
speed limiter’s braking effect may
be inadequate and the actual vehicle
road speed may exceed the stored
maximum speed.
Speed Limiter (Automatic)
(if fitted)
The automatic speed limiter function
will set and maintains the vehicle’s
maximum speed to the speeds shown
on traffic signs*.
Still using the left-hand steering wheel
keypad, the speed limiter function can
be changed to automatic speed limiter
by selecting the automatic speed
limiter option in the centre display.
Automatic speed limiter is selected/
deselected from the Car Settings
→ Driver Support → Vehicle Speed
Support menus in the centre display,
see page 127.
Automatic speed limiter can also be
selected from the quick panel menu,
see page 134.
*Also see traffic sign recognition on
page 113.
WARNING: Even if the driver
clearly sees the speed related
road sign, the speed information
from the traffic sign recognition
system may be incorrect. If this
occurs, the driver must intervene
and accelerate or brake to a
suitable speed.
WARNING: Before using this
system, the driver is advised to
read all automatic speed limiter
information in this handbook to be
aware of its limitations.
WARNING: Driver assistance
systems are developed to support
the driver and not to replace the
driver’s attention. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring
the vehicle is driven safely at the
appropriate speed and distance
to other vehicles, in accordance
with current traffic rules and
regulations.
