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 (/ page 226).
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 or if the set
speed is changed.
The permanent limiter does not swit chtopas‐

nction of DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
DSR is an aid toassist you when driving down‐
hill. It keeps the speed of tr avel at the selected
ta rget speed. The steeper the downhill gradient,
th e greater the DSR braking ef fect on theve hi‐
cle. On flat stre tches of road and uphill gradi‐
ents, the DSR brakes theve hicle minimally or
not at all.
When DSR is activated and the transmission is in
position h,kori, DSR controls the driving
speed. The target speed can be set toava lue
between 2 km/h and 18km/h. By braking or
accele rating, you can drive at a higher or lo wer
speed than theta rget speed at any time.
DSR is deactivated automatically if you drive at
speeds greater than 45 km/h. The DSRsymbol appears in
the multifunction display with the
messa geoff. The status indicator in the multi‐
function display disappears. You also hear a
wa rning tone.

WARNING Risk of skidding and having
an accident when DSR is acti vated on
slippery road sur faces
If th e speed driven and theta rget speed dif‐
fe r, and you activate DSR on a slippery road
sur face, the wheels may lose traction. #
Take into account thero ad sur face and
th e dif fere nce between the driving
speed and target speed before activat‐
ing DSR. If
yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, DSR can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor over‐
ri de the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. DSR

Yo u are alw aysre sponsible forke eping control of

able tokeep totheta rget speed. Select a target

and also apply the brakes yourself if requ ired.

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 according tothe speed
permitted within the urban area. The speed limit
display in the Instrument Display is alw ays upda‐
te d 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 au tomatical lyadop ted as the
st ored speed. The sy stem uses the speed stored
on an unlimited stre tch of road as there com‐
mended speed. If you do not alter thestored
speed on an unlimited stre tch of road, there c‐
ommended speed is 130 km/h.
If Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC has been
put into passi vemode bypressing the accelera‐

a lane change is permit ted, the lane change
begins af terth e driver has activated the turn sig‐
nal indicator. This is shown tothe driver with a
green ar row 2 next tothesteering wheel sym‐

Assi sthas been activated with the turn signal
indicator but a lane change is not immediately
possible, a gr eyarrow 1appears next tothe

If a lane change is not possible, the ar row fades
out af ter a few seconds and a new lane change
must be initiated. An immediate lane change is

speed limits.
If th e sy stem is impaired, Active Lane Change
Assi stmay be cancelled. If it is cancelled, the
Lane change cancelled message appears inthe
