If th eve hicle should ne verex ceed a speci/c

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 211).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the Instrument Displa y.When you con-

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.

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.

:depending on the coun-
tr y, an additional haptic warning occurs in the
fo rm of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat
belt.
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
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recognise
dangers (/ page 199). If autonomous braking or situation-dependent
braking assistance has occur
red, display 1
appears in the Instrument Display and then auto-
matically goes out aTer a short time.
If th e autonomous braking function or the situa-
tion-dependent braking assistance is triggered,
additional pr eventive measures for occupant pro-
te ction (PRE- SAFE®
) may also be initiated. &
