Function ofActive Speed Limit Assist
If achange inthe speed limit is detected andActive Distance AssistDISTRONIC is activated,Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC adaptsthisnew speed asthestored speed.
The driven speed is adjusted whenthevehicle islevel withthe traffic sign atthe latest. Inthecase of signs indicating entry into an urban area,the speed is adapted accordingtothe speed
permitted withinthe urban area. The speed limitdisplay inthe instrument display is always upda‐ted whenthevehicle is level withthe traffic sign.
Ifthere is no speedrestriction on an unlimitedstretch ofroad (e.g. on a freeway),therecom‐mended speed is adopted asthestored speed.The system usesthe speedstored on an unlimi‐tedstretch ofroad astherecommended speed.Ifyou do not alterthestored speed on an unlimi‐tedstretch ofroad,therecommended speed is80mph (130 km/h).
IfActive Distance AssistDISTRONIC has beenput into passivemodebypressingthe accelera‐tor pedal, only speed limits whichare higherthanthe set speed are adopted.
