switched on to
check certain functions. They will switch off

After use, always switch off the speed limiter

●
The speed limiter does not relieve the driv-
er of their responsibility to drive at the appro-
priate speed. Do not drive at high speed if not
necessary.
●
Using the speed limiter with adverse
weather conditions is dangerous and can
cause serious accidents, e.g. because of
C
aquaplaning, snow, ice, leaves, etc. You
should u
se the speed limiter function only
when traffic, road and weather conditions al-
low it to be used safely.
●
When driving downhill, the speed limiter
cannot limit the vehicle speed. Its speed will
increase due to its own weight. In this case,
select a lower gear or use the foot brake to
slow the vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the safety warnings ›
››
in Warning
and contro
l lamps on page 119.
Note
●
Different
versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary.
●
If when switching the ignition off, the
cruise control system (CCS), the adaptive
cruise control (ACC) or the speed limiter were
switched on, then the cruise control system
or the adaptive cruise control will automati-
cally switch themselves on when the ignition
is back on. However, no speed will be stored.
The last set speed of the speed limiter will be
stored.
