qF
unction of cruise control
Cruise control regulates the speed to the value
selected by the driver.
If you accelerate to overtake, forexample, the
stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal aser overtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to the stored speed. You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the
maximum design speed or up t
o the set winter
tyre limit.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (  page 237).
Displays in the driver's display
= J (grey): cruise control is selected but not
yet active, or temporarily passive.
= J (green): cruise control is active.
A stored speed appears under the J display
and is indicated in the speedometer.
System limits
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lower gear in good time on long and
steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of
this when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you
will make use of the engine's braking eMect. This
relieves the load on the brake system and pre-
vents the brakes from overheating and wearing
too quickly. Do not use cruise control in the following situa-
tions:
= in tr
aPc situations which require frequent
changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traPc, on
winding roads
= on slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle
could then skid.
= when visibility is poor

qFunction of the limiter
The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To
reduce the speed to the set speed, the limiter
applies the brakes automatically.
You can limit the speed as follows:
= Variable: for a short-term speed restriction,
e.g. in built-up areas
= Permanent: for a longer-term speed restric-
tion, e.g. in winter tyre mode
You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the
maximum design speed or up to the set winter
tyre limit. You can also perform settings while the
vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been star-
ted. 246

qInf
ormation on the permanent limiter
If the vehicle should never exceed a speciNc
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
You do this by limiting the speed between
160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys-
tem (  page 249).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the driver's display. When you conNrm
the message, display messages no longer appear
until you switch oM the vehicle. The speed will
only be displayed again once the vehicle has been
restarted or if the set speed is changed.
The permanent limiter does not switch to passive
mode even during kickdown and the driven speed
remains below the set speed.

unction of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
% The Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC descri-

or vehicles without the Driving Assis-
tance package is an on-demand feature
(  page 22).
DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the
se
t speed when driving freely. If vehicles are
detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if
necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on
the distance to the vehicle in front and the set speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in
fr

ont are set and saved using the steering wheel.
Available speed range: = Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package:
20 km/h - 160 km/h
= Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package:
20 km/h - 210 km/h
% The adjustable set speed may diMer if a limit
speed (
e.g. winter tyre limit) ( page 249) is
stored.

Assist DISTRONIC. Depending on which drive
program is selected, the driving characteris-
tics can be geared towards energy economy,
comfort or dynamic performance. In the
Active Distance Assist menu, the driving style
can be permanently set to Comfort or
Dynamic (  page 256).
Vehicles with Active Parking Assist and Driving
Assis
tance Package: if Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC has braked the vehicle to a standstill,
it can automatically follow the vehicle in front
when driving oM again within 30 seconds. If a criti-
cal situation is detected in the surrounding area
when driving oM, such as a person in the vehicle
path, a visual and acoustic warning is given indi-
cating that the driver must now take control of the
vehicle. The vehicle is not accelerated any further. Observe the notes on driving systems and your
r
esponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers ( page 237).
