Automatic deactivation: ● Vehicle speed is below approx. 30 km/h.
● Vehicle speed drops more than 25 km/h below the set speed.
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The clutch pedal is depressed for
a few seconds.
● The selector lever is in N.
● Engine speed is in a very low range.

Turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 30 km/h. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off
Press m, control indicator m in
instrument cluster extinguishes. The
stored speed is deleted.
Pressing L to activate the speed
limiter or switching off the ignition also switches off cruise control and
deletes the stored speed.
Speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum
speed.
The maximum speed can be set at
speeds above 25 km/h up to
200 km/h.
The driver can only accelerate up to
the preset speed. Deviations from the limited speed may occur when driving
downhill.The preset speed limit is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre when
the system is active.
Activation
Press L. If cruise control has been
activated before, it is switched off when speed limiter is activated and
the control indicator m extinguishes.
Set speed limit Accelerate to the desired speed and
briefly turn thumb wheel to SET/-: the
current speed is stored as maximum
speed. Speed limit is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
Change speed limit
With speed limiter active, turn thumb
wheel to RES/+ to increase or SET/-
to decrease the desired maximum
speed.
Exceeding the speed limit
When exceeding the limited speed
without driver input, the speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre
and a chime sounds during this
period.
In the event of an emergency, it is possible to exceed the speed limit by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly nearly to the final point. In this case no chime appears.
Release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.
Driving and operating157DeactivationPress y: speed limiter is deactivated
and the vehicle can be driven without
speed limit.
The stored limited speed is indicated

extinguishes in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is deleted.
By pressing m to activate cruise
control, speed limiter is also
deactivated and the stored speed is
deleted.
By switching off the ignition, speed
limiter is also deactivated, but the
speed limit will be stored for next
speed limiter activation.
Forward collision alert
The forward collision alert can help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
Forward collision alert uses the front
camera system in the windscreen to
detect a vehicle directly ahead, in
your path, within a distance of approx. 60 metres.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
Additionally the driver gets notified by
a flashing red LED stripe which is
projected on the windscreen in the
driver's field of view.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert is not deactivated by pressing
V .
Activation Forward collision alert operates
automatically above 40 km/h, if it is
not deactivated by pressing V, see
below.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity can be set to
near, medium or far.
