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® must be activated, but not intervening.

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

  • The transmission is in position .

Variable limiter:

  • The vehicle has been started.

  • The variable limiter is selected.

Switching between cruise control and the variable limiter
To select cruise control:
press rocker switch up.
To select the variable limiter:
press rocker switch down.

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

Activating cruise control or the variable limiter
Press rocker switch up (SET+) or down (SET-).

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

Increasing/decreasing the stored speed
Press rocker switch up/down to the pressure point.

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

or
Press and hold rocker switch up/down to the pressure point.

The stored speed is increased or reduced in increments of 1 km/h.

or
Press rocker switch beyond the pressure point.

The stored speed is increased or reduced by 10 km/h.

or
Press rocker switch beyond the pressure point and hold.

The stored speed is increased or reduced in increments of 10 km/h.

or
Accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed.
Press rocker switch up.
Adopting the detected speed

If cruise control/variable limiter is activated and Speed Limit Assist or Traffic Sign Assist has detected a speed restriction sign with a maximum permissible speed and this is displayed in the instrument cluster:

Press rocker switch up.

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

Deactivating cruise control or the variable limiter
Press rocker switch (CNCL) down.

When cruise control or the variable limiter is deactivated, rocker switch (SET+) or (SET-) saves the currently driven speed and the vehicle maintains this speed. When rocker switch (RES) is pressed, the speed last stored is called up 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.

When you activate cruise control or Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, the last speed stored for the variable limiter is cleared.
