If a change in the speed limit of 20 km/h or more

cally adop ted as the stored speed (/ page 244).
The driven speed is adjusted when theve hicle is

of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adap ted according tothe speed permit-
te d within the urban area. The speed limit display

If th ere is no speed restriction on an unlimited

etch ofroad as there commen-
ded speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on
an unlimited str etch ofroad, there commended

If Ac tive Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
