If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐

nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take
into account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. The driver is

Sy stem limits
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Increase recuperation in good time on long and
st eep downhill gradients. Take particular no teof th
is when driving a laden vehicle. By so doing,
yo u will make use of the electric mo tor's braking
ef fect to charge the high-voltage batter y.This
re lie vesth e load on the brake sy stem and pre‐
ve nts the brakes from overheating and wearing
to oqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R In traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid.
R Ifyo u are driving when visibility is poor.
Fu nction of the limi ter
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:

The variable limiter is operated using the cor re‐
sponding steering wheel buttons. You can store
any speed abo ve20 km/h up tothe maximum
speed or up tothe set winter tyre limit. You can
also per form settings while theve hicle is station‐
ary if theve hicle has been star ted.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, the limiter
can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor

Pe rm anent limi ter
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 (/ page212).
If yo u limit the speed toava lue abo vetheve hi‐
cle's maximum speed, the permanent limiter has
no ef fect on the speed which can be driven. The
maximum road speed can vary depending on the
drive prog ram or the maximum road speed rec‐
ommended byactive range moni toring.
Shortly be fore 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 or if the set
speed is changed. The permanent limiter does not swit
chtopas‐
sive mode even du ring kickdown and the driven
speed remains below the set speed.

If th e sy stem de tects that you are driving on to a

triggers a warning.
The camera also de tects traf fic signs wi th a
