Deactivating/reactivating the speed limiter
The speed limiter (Speed Limiter - SL) can be temporarily deactivated so that it is set in thestandby mode and can be reactivated later.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
Deactivate the speed limiter and set it
in standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limit markings and symbols in the driver display change colour from WHITE to GREY - the speed limiter is nowtemporarily deactivated and the driver canexceed the maximum speed setting.
Reactivating the speed limiter from standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (1).
> The driver display's speed limit markings change colour from GREY to WHITE - the car's speed is then limited again by thelast stored maximum speed.
or
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limiter indicators and symbols in the driver display change colour from GREY to WHITE — the car will now applyits current speed as the maximum speed.
Temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be temporarily overrid- den with the accelerator pedal without the speedlimiter being set in standby mode - e.g. to be ableto quickly accelerate the car out of a situation. Inwhich case, proceed as follows:
1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and release it so that acceleration is interrupted when the desired speed has been reached.
> In this case, the speed limiter is still acti-vated and the driver display's symbol is therefore WHITE.
2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when the temporary acceleration is finished.
> The car is then braked automaticallybelow the last stored maximum speed.

Activating/deactivating the automatic speed limiter
The automatic speed limiter function (Automatic Speed Limiter - ASL) can be activated anddeactivated as a supplement to the speed limiter(Speed Limiter - SL).
The function is activated/deac- tivated in function view in thecentre display.
Activating the automatic speed limiter1. Tap on the Speed Sign Assist button in
function view.
> ASL is set in standby mode, a green indi- cator appears on the button, and the driver display shows a sign symbol in thecentre of the speedometer.
2. Press the steering wheel button

Changing the tolerance for the Automatic speed limiter
The speed limiter function (Automatic Speed Limiter - ASL) can be set for different tolerancelevels.
It is possible to increase/decrease the signed speed limit. If, for example, the car follows asigned speed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph) thedriver can instead choose to allow the car tomaintain 75 km/h (47 mph).
Buttons and symbols for functions.
–Press the steering wheel button (1)
until 70 km/h (43 mph) in the centre of the speedometer (4) changes to 75 km/h(47 mph).
> After which, the car uses the selected tol- erance 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as signs passed are showing 70 km/h (43 mph). The tolerance is followed until a road sign with a lower or higher speed is passed -then the car follows the new signedspeed limit instead and the tolerance isdeleted from the memory. If the Road Sign Information * function is
activated, the signed speed limit will then be shown with a RED indicator on thespeedometer. The tolerance is adjusted in the same way as thespeed setting is in the speed limiter.
NOTE
The maximum selectable tolerance is +/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Deactivate Cruise Control and set in
standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limit markings and symbols in the driver display change colour from WHITE to GREY — Cruise Control is nowtemporarily deactivated and the driver cantemporarily exceed the set speed.
Standby mode on driver intervention
The cruise control is temporarily deactivated and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the gear selector is moved to
N position
• the clutch pedal is held depressed for longerthan 1 minute
• the driver maintains a speed higher than thestored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself. A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affectthe setting - the car returns to the last storedspeed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if:
• wheels lose traction
• engine speed is too low/high
• brake temperature is too high
• speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself.
