DSR (Downhill Speed
Regulation) Fu
nction of DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
DSR is an aid toassist you when driving down‐
hill. It keeps the speed of tr avel at the selected
ta rget speed. The steeper the downhill gradient,
th e greater the DSR braking ef fect on theve hi‐
cle. On flat stre tches of road and uphill gradi‐
ents, the DSR brakes theve hicle minimally or
not at all.
When DSR is activated and the transmission is in
position 005B,005Eor005C, DSR controls the driving
speed. The target speed can be set toava lue
between 2 km/h and 18km/h. By braking or
accele rating, you can drive at a higher or lo wer
speed than theta rget speed at any time.
DSR is deactivated automatically if you drive at
speeds greater than 45 km/h or select drive
program CorB. The îoffmessage
th en appears in the multifunction displa y.The
st atus indicator in the multifunction display dis‐
appears. You also hear a warning tone. In
fo rm ation on DSR &
WARNING Risk of skidding and having
an accident when DSR is acti vated on
slippery road sur faces
If th e speed driven and theta rget speed dif‐
fe r, and you activate DSR on a slippery road
sur face, the wheels may lose traction. #
Take into account thero ad sur face and
th e dif fere nce between the driving
speed and target speed before activat‐
ing DSR. If
yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, DSR can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor over‐
ri de the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. DSR
is only an aid. You are responsible for maintain‐
ing a safe dis tance totheve hicle in front, for
ve hicle speed, for braking in good time and for
st ay ing in lane.
Yo u are alw aysre sponsible forke eping control of
th eve hicle and for assessing whe ther the down‐
hill gradient can be negotiated. Depending on
ro ad sur face and tyres, DSR may not al ways be able
tokeep totheta rget speed. Select a target
speed suitable forth e environmen tal conditions
and also apply the brakes yourself if requ ired.
Ac tivating/deactivating DSR (vehicles with
E- Ac tive Body Control)
