Introduction

The speed limiter helps you to ensure that you do not exceed a speed that you have previously saved.

Speed range

The speed limiter is available at speeds above approx. 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph) when driving forward.

Driving with the speed limiter

You can interrupt the limit set by the speed limiter at any time by fully depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the point of resistance. When you exceed the saved speed, the green indicator light will come on and a warning chime may sound. The vehicle speed remains stored in the system.

Once your driving speed falls below the saved speed, the speed limiter will automatically begin regulating your speed again.

Displays

If the speed limiter is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the saved speed and the status of the speed limiter.

The following indicator lights may turn on depending on the driving situation and the instrument cluster version:

Speed limiter switched on, regulation active.

If the speed limiter is not actively controlling, the indicator lights are small or grey.

Driving downhill

The vehicle cannot maintain the saved speed in all driving situations. Always be ready to apply the brakes.

1. Use the electric drivetrain recuperation when traveling downhill for extended periods.

This relieves the strain on the brakes.

WARNING

Using the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can result in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

  • Always adapt your speed to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. The driver is always responsible for the speed.
  • Do not drive at top speed unless necessary.
  • Never use the speed limiter when driving on slippery surfaces, e.g. due to hydroplaning, snow, ice, leaves.
  • To prevent unintended regulation, switch off the speed limiter if you do not need it.
