Always switch off the speed limiter after use
to avoid unintentional cruise control.
• The speed limiter does not relieve the
driver of their responsibility for the speed of
the vehicle. Do not drive at full throttle if it is
not required.
• Use of the speed limiter in adverse weath·
er conditions is dangerous and can cause se­
rious injury, e.g. through aquaplaning, snow,
ice, or leaves. Only use the speed limiter
when the road and weather conditions allow
it to be used safely.
• The speed limiter cannot limit the vehicle
speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle
speed can increase under its own weight.
Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using
the foot brake.

In vehicles with Driving Mode Selection , the selec­
t~d driving mode can affect the vehicle 's accelera­

The following driving modes can be selected :
• Normal

Celeration response can be affected by the driving

I . nd @nver assistance ) function buttons 1n the 1nfo­a1nrne t n system ~page 31 .
The following conditions can prevent the
adaptive cruise control from reacting:
• If the the acce le rator is depressed.
• If no g ear is selected .
• If the ESC is taking corre ctive action .
• If the driv er h as no t f astened seat belt.
• If there is a fau lt in seve ral brake lights on the
v e hicle or on a traile r with an electrical
connection
to the vehic le .
• If the vehicle is reve rsing .
• If the vehicle is travelling faster than approxi ­
mately 160 km/h (100 mph).
A WARNING
If you close the gap to a vehicle in front and
the difference in speed between the two vehi­
cles is so great that the braking action of the
ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of col­
liding with the vehicle in front. You should re­
duce the vehicle speed immediately with the
foot brake.
• The ACC may not be able to recognise all
driving situations correctly.
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator will
mean that the ACC will not brake automatical­
ly. This is because manual acceleration over­
rides the system.
• You should always be prepared to brake
the vehicle yourself.
• Observe country-specific regulations re­
garding the minimum distance.
rn
The set speed will be deleted if the ig nition or
the ACC is switched off.
rn
The ACC is automatically deactivated when
the tract ion control system (T CS ) is deactiva-
ted .
rn
In vehicles with a start/stop system, the e n ­
g ine is switched off automatical ly during the
stat ionary phase of ACC and is then restarted for
moving off. Driver assist systems 231
