128Driving and operating
Increase speedWith cruise control active, the vehicle
speed can be increased continuously or in small increments by holding
down or tapping switch < repeatedly.
When the switch is released the
current speed is stored and
maintained.
Alternatively, accelerate to the
desired speed and store by pressing
switch <.
Reduce speed With cruise control active, the vehicle
speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping switch ]
repeatedly.
When the switch is released the
current speed is stored and
maintained.Deactivation
Press switch §: cruise control is
deactivated and the green control
indicator U extinguishes in the
instrument cluster.
Automatic deactivation: ■ Vehicle speed drops below 30 km/h,
■ The brake pedal is depressed,
■ The clutch pedal is depressed,
■ Selector lever in N.
The speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reactivation
Press switch R at a speed above
30 km/h.
If the stored speed is much higher
than the current speed, the vehicle
will accelerate powerfully until the
stored speed is obtained.
Pressing switch < will also reactivate
the cruise control function, but at the
current vehicle speed only, not the
stored speed.
Deleting the stored speedPress switch m: Green control
indicators U and m extinguish in the
instrument cluster.
Cruise control speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum
speed above 30 km/h.

Driving and operating129
Activation
Press switch U, control indicator U
illuminates yellow in the instrument
cluster.
Cruise control speed limiter function
is now in standby mode and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
press switch < or ]. The current
speed is recorded.
The vehicle can be driven normally
but it will not be possible to exceed the programmed speed limit except in an
emergency.
Where the limit speed cannot be
maintained, e.g. when driving on a
steep decline, the limit speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre
3 90, accompanied by a warning
chime.
Increase limit speed
The limit speed can be increased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping switch <
repeatedly.
Reduce limit speed
The limit speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping switch ]
repeatedly.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency, it is
possible to exceed the limit speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limit speed will flash in the Driver Information Centre 3 90 during this
period, accompanied by a warning chime.Release the accelerator pedal andthe speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.
Note
In vehicles fitted with a Speed
limiter, fully depressing the
accelerator pedal will not allow you
to exceed the set maximum vehicle
speed. Speed limiter 3 130.
Deactivation
Press switch §: Speed limiter is
deactivated and the vehicle can be
driven normally.
The limit speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reactivation
Press switch R: The speed limiter
function is reactivated.
Pressing switch < will also reactivate
the speed limiter function, but at the

Deleting the limit speed
Press switch U: Yellow control
indicator U extinguishes in the
instrument cluster.
Speed limiter Maximum speed limiter
In accordance with local or national
regulations, the vehicle may be
equipped with a fixed maximum
speed limiter that cannot be disabled.
If equipped, a warning label indicating the fixed maximum speed limit (90 to
130 km/h) is located on the
instrument panel.
Deviations from the maximum speed
limit may occur briefly when driving
downhill, for physical reasons.
A warning buzzer will sound for
10 seconds every 40 seconds if the
vehicle briefly exceeds the set limit.
Vehicles also equipped with cruise
control speed limiter: the maximum
speed cannot be exceeded by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
Cruise control speed limiter 3 126.Parking assist
The parking assist makes reverse
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the rear of the
vehicle and obstacles. It is the driver,
however, who bears full responsibility for parking.
The system consists of four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Note
Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
