If necessary, remove the towing eye and the snow chains. 
 
Check the tyres, suspension struts and axles for damage and remove dirt, stones and other foreign 
bodies from the tyre tread. 
 
Inspect the vehicle underbody and remove all items that are jammed in the brake system, on the 
wheels, in the running gear, in the exhaust system and in the engine, such as branches, leaves or 
pieces of wood . If you see any damage or leaks, take your vehicle to a qualified workshop or seek 
expert assistance. 
 
Clean heavy soiling from the radiator grille and the vehicle underbody Vehicle care. 
 
Check the engine compartment to see if any dirt is affecting engine operation In the engine 
compartment. 
 
Deselecting the Offroad driving profile Setting a driving profile.

WARNING 
Objects caught underneath the vehicle underbody pose a danger. The vehicle underbody must 
always be examined for trapped objects after every journey offroad. 
Never drive if objects are trapped in the underbody, brake system, wheels, running gear, exhaust 
system and engine. 
Inflammable materials, e.g. dry leaves, could ignite on hot vehicle components. A fire can cause 
serious injuries. 
Trapped objects could damage the fuel lines, brake system, seals and other running gear 
components. This could cause you to lose control of your vehicle and cause accidents.

Speed limiter

⇒ Operating the speed limiter with the multifunction steering wheel  
⇒ Troubleshooting  
The speed limiter helps you to stop exceeding a stored speed. 
Speed range 
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards at speeds from approx. 30 km/h (20 mph). 
Driving with the speed limiter 
You can interrupt the speed limiter at any time by depressing the accelerator all the way down past 
the point of resistance. As soon as the stored speed is exceeded, the green indicator lamp will 
flash and an acoustic warning may sound. The speed remains stored in the memory. 
The speed limiter function switches back on automatically as soon as the speed drops back below 
the stored speed. 
Displays 
When the speed limiter is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the stored speed and 
the status of the speed limiter: 
Shown small or grey: speed limiter not active.Shown large or white: speed limiter active. 
Driving downhill 
Driving downhill may cause the set speed to be exceeded. 
Apply the foot brake to slow the vehicle down, and change down a gear as required. 
 
WARNING 
Always switch off the speed limiter after use to avoid unintentional speed control. 
The speed limiter does not relieve the driver of their responsibility for the speed of the vehicle. Do 
not drive at full throttle if this is not required. 
Use of the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can cause serious injury, 
e.g. through aquaplaning, snow, ice, or leaves. Use the speed limiter only when the road and 
weather conditions allow it to be used safely. 
The speed limiter cannot limit the vehicle speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can 
increase under its own weight. Select a lower gear or use the foot brake to slow the vehicle down.

Switching on 
Press the  button. 
The speed last set remains stored. There is no control yet. 
Starting control 
While driving, press the button. 
The current speed is stored as the maximum speed. The green indicator lamp . 
Setting the speed 
You can adjust the stored speed: 
+ 1 km/h (1 mph)-1 km/h (1 mph)+ 10 km/h (5 mph)- 10 km/h (5 mph) 
To continuously adjust the stored speed, press and hold the button or . 
Interrupting control 
Press the  button. 
The speed remains stored in the memory. 
Resuming control 
Press the  button. 
The speed limiter is automatically reactivated as soon as the current speed is lower than the stored 
speed. 
Switching off 
Press and hold the button. 
The speed limiter is switched off, the speed remains stored (even after the ignition is switched off).

Changing to Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 
Press the  button. 
The speed limiter is switched off.

Malfunction. Switch off the speed limiter and go to a qualified workshop. 
For safety reasons, the speed limiter does not fully deactivate itself until you release the accelerator 
once or switch the system off manually. 
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 
 Introduction 
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects: 
⇒ Special driving situations  
⇒ Limits of ACC  
⇒ Switching ACC on and off  
⇒ Setting ACC  
⇒ Troubleshooting  
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a speed selected by the driver. If the vehicle 
approaches a vehicle in front, the ACC automatically adapts the speed so that a distance you have 
selected is maintained. 
Speed range 
ACC controls the vehicle in the speed range between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 160 km/h (100 mph) 
or 210 km/h (130 mph). This speed range may differ in certain markets. 
Driving with ACC 
You can override the ACC at any time. Control will be interrupted when you brake. If you accelerate, 
control will be interrupted for the duration of the acceleration process and will then continue again. 
Control by ACC is less dynamic when towing a trailer ⇒  . The ACC will not perform control operation 
if the trailer's brake lights are faulty. 
Does the vehicle have ACC? 
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can make settings for ACC in the vehicle settings of the 
Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu .

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction  
Switching on ACC 
Press the  button. 
The indicator lamp lights up grey, ACC does not regulate. 
Starting control 
Press the button while driving forwards. 
ACC stores the current speed and maintains the set distance. If the current speed is outside the 
defined speed range, ACC will set the minimum speed (when driving more slowly than the limit) or 
maximum speed (when driving faster than the limit). 
The following indicator lamps light up, depending on the driving situation: 
ACC regulating.No vehicle has been detected ahead.Vehicle detected ahead (white). 
Interrupting control 
Briefly press the button or press the brake pedal. 
The indicator lights up grey, the speed and distance remain stored. 
Control is automatically interrupted if the traction control system (TCS) is deactivated. 
Resuming control 
Press the  button. 
ACC adopts the last set speed and last set distance. The instrument cluster display shows the set 
speed and the indicator lamp  lights up green. 
Switching off ACC 
Press and hold the button. 
The set speed is deleted. 
Changing to the speed limiter 
Press the  button. 
ACC is switched off.
