R Drive prog ram ; is selected.
R The speed is within a suita blerange. R
The road's course is suitable, e.g. no steep
uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends.
R There is no trailer hitched up tothe trailer

Fu nction of the limiter
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 a short-term speed restriction,
e.g. in built-up areas
R Perm anen t:for a longer-term speed restric‐
tion, e.g. in winter tyre mode
Yo u can store any speed abo ve20 km/h up to
th e maximum design speed or up tothe set win‐
te r tyre limit. You can also per form settings
while theve hicle is stationary if theve hicle has
