TIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsu1cient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor override
th e la wsof ph ysics. 4MATIC cannot take account
of road, weather and tra1c conditions. 4MATIC is
only an aid. You are responsible especially for
maintaining a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and for st aying in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum e.ect
of 4MATIC can be achie ved only if you use
winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow chains if
necessar y. 190

Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when thegr adient evens out.
Change into a lo werge ar in good time on long and
steep downhill gradients. Take particular no teof
th is when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you
will make use of the engine's braking e.ect. This
re lie vesth e load on the brake system and pre-
ve nts the brakes from overheating and wearing

Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa-
tions:
R in tra1c situations which requ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy tra1c, on
winding roads
R on slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the
drive wheels tolose traction and theve hicle

The limiter restricts the speed of theve hicle. To
re duce the speed tothe set speed, the limiter
applies the brakes automaticall y. Yo
u can limit the speed as follo ws:
R Variable: for speed restrictions, e.g. in built-up
areas.
R Perm anent: for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving in winter ty remode.
The variable limi ter is operated using the cor re-
sponding steering wheel buttons. You can store
any road speed from 20 km/h to250 km/h or up
to the set winter tyre limit. You can also per form
settings while theve hicle is stationary if theve hi-
cle has been star ted.
