If th eve hicle should ne verex ceed a speci/c
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
Yo u do this by limiting the speed between
160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys-
te m (/ page 241).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the Instrument Displa y.When you con-
/rm the message, display messages no longer
appear until you switch o. theve hicle. The speed
will only be displ ayed again once theve hicle has
been restar ted or if the set speed is changed. The permanent limi
ter does not switch topassive
mode even during kickdown and the driven speed
re mains below the set speed.

Ac tive Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-0owing roads. If vehicles in
front are de tected, the set distance is maintained,
if necessar y,until theve hicle comes toa halt. The
ve hicle accelerates or brakes depending on the
distance totheve hicle in front and the set speed.
The speed and distance totheve hicle in front are
set and sa ved using the steering wheel.

Ac tive Brake Assist can help youto minimise the
ri sk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or pedes-
trians or toreduce the e.ects of such a collision.
If Ac tive Brake Assist has de tected a risk of colli-
sion, a warning tone sounds and theL dis-
ta nce warning lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster.
If yo u do not react tothewa rning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake Assist
can initiate autonomous braking directl y.In this
case, thewa rning lamp and warning tone occur
simultaneously with the braking application. If
yo u apply the brake yourself in a critical situa-
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak-
ing, situation-dependent braking assistance
occurs. The brake pressure increases up tomaxi-
mum full-s top braking if necessar y.
Obser vethe no tes on driving systems and your

when wet). These are only displa yed if a restric-
tion applies or if the system cannot clear lyde ter-
