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.
Switch on TCS again Brake support systems.
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
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Page 232 of 502

⇒ 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.
Operating the speed limiter with the multifunction steering wheel

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction
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.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction
Control is automatically interrupted.
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 .

Fig. 121 Left-hand side of the multifunction steering wheel: buttons for operating ACC.
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.
