If th eve hicle should ne verexc eed a specific
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
Yo u do this by limiting the speed toava lue
between 160 km/h and 240 km/h in the multi‐
media sy stem (→ page196).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the multifunction displa y.When you
confirm the message with %, display mes‐
sages no longer appear until you swit choff the
ve hicle. The speed will only be displa yed again
once theve hicle has been restar ted.
The permanent limiter does not switch topas‐

speed remains below the set speed.

The following function is countr y-dependent
and only available in conjunction with the
Driving Assi stance Package. If a
change in the speed limit is de tected and
Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is acti vated,
Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC adapts this
new speed as thestored speed.
The driven speed is adjus ted when theve hicle is
le ve l with the traf fic sign at the latest. In the
case of signs indicating entry into an urban area,
th e speed is adap ted beforehand. The speed
limit display in the Instrument Display is alw aysupdated when
theve hicle is le vel with the tra ffic
sign.
If th ere is no speed restriction on an unlimi ted
st re tch of road (e.g. on a mo torw ay),th ere com‐
mended speed is adop ted as thestored speed.
The sy stem uses the speed stored on an unlimi‐
te dstre tch of road as there commended speed.
If yo u do not alter thestored speed on an unlimi‐
te dstre tch of road, there commended speed is
13 0 km/h.
If Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC has been
