Function of the limiter

The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To reduce the speed to the set speed, the limiter applies the brakes automatically.

You can limit the speed as follows:
  • Variable: for a short-term speed restriction, e.g. in built-up areas

  • Permanent: for a longer-term speed restriction, e.g. in winter tyre mode

The variable limiter is operated using the corresponding steering wheel buttons More.

You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the maximum design speed or up to the set winter tyre limit. You can also perform settings while the vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been started.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers More.

Messages in the driver display
  •  (grey): variable limiter is selected but not yet activated.

  •  (flashes grey): variable limiter is temporarily passive.

  •  (green): variable limiter is activated.

A stored speed appears under the display and is indicated in the speedometer.

If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown), the variable limiter switches to passive mode. The passive message appears in the driver's display and the display flashes.

The variable limiter is reactivated in the following situations:
  • If the vehicle speed drops below the stored speed.

  • If the stored speed is called up.

  • If you store a new speed.
