Function buttons and symbols
–Change a set maximum speed by pressing the
(1) or — (3) buttons briefly or by
pressing and holding them: • Press briefly
: changes the maximum
speed in +/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h) incre- ments. Each press changes the maximumspeed by +/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h).
• Press and hold
: changes the maximum
speed +/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) at a time.Release the button when the indicator (4)has moved to the desired maximumspeed.
LimitationsWhen driving down steep hills, the SpeedLimiter's braking effect may not be adequate andthe set maximum speed may be exceeded. The message
Speed limit exceeded will appear in
the instrument panel to alert the driver.
NOTE
This message will appear if the maximum speed is exceeded by more than approx.2 mph (3 km/h).

Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) *
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) helps the driver adapt the vehicle's maximum speed to the pos-ted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter (SL) function can be switched to Automatic Speed Limiter.
Where applicable, ASL uses speed information from the Road Sign Information * system to auto-
matically adapt the vehicle's maximum speed.
WARNING
• ASL is a supplemental aid to the driver and does not function in all driving situa-tions or in all traffic, weather or road con-ditions. It can never replace the driver

Sign symbol B
next to "70": ASL is acti-
vated.
✓
AWHITE symbol: the function is active, GRAY symbol: the func- tion is in standby mode.
B See the section "ASL symbol" below for an explanation of thesymbol's different colors.
The ASL symbol
A road sign symbol (next to the stored speed in the center of the speedome-ter) can be displayed in three differentcolors as explained in the following
table:
Road sign
symbol's color Explanation
Green/yellow ASL is active Gray ASL is in standby mode
Amber/orange ASL is temporarily in standby mode (e.g., because a speed limit sign could not be read)
ASL limitations
•ASL utilizes the speed limit information provi- ded by the Road Sign Information
* system
(RSI), not from the speed limit signs that the
vehicle passes.
• If RSI cannot provide ASL with speed-related information, ASL will go into standby modeand switch to SL. The driver will have to reactand adapt the vehicle's speed.
• ASL will reactivate when RSI is once againable to read a speed limit sign.

ASL is activated/deactivated in the center display's Functionview.
Activating ASL
With SL activated: 1.
Tap the
Speed Sign Assist button in the
center display's Function view.
> ASL will go into standby mode and a green indicator light in the button will illu- minate. A road sign symbol will be dis-played in center of the speedometer.
2. Press the
button on the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad.
> ASL will be activated with the vehicle's current speed.
Deactivating ASL
–Tap the Speed Sign Assist button in the
center display's Function view.
> ASL will be deactivated, the indicator will be GRAY and the Speed limiter (SL) will be activated.
WARNING
After switching from ASL to SL, the vehicle will no longer adapt speed to posted speedlimits. It will only limit the vehicle's maximumspeed.

Changing tolerance for the Automatic Speed Limiter
Automatic Speed Limiter can be set to different tolerance levels.
Posted speed limit toleranceASL can be set to allow the vehicle to drive above or below the posted speed limit. For exam-ple, if the current posted speed limit is 43 mph(70 km/h), the driver can opt to allow the vehicleto drive at a speed of 47 mph (75 km/h).

(70 km/h) has changed to 47 mph (75 km/h) in the center of the speedometer (4).
> The vehicle will then use the selected tol-
erance +4 mph (+5 km/h) until the vehi- cle passes a sign with a lower or higherspeed limit. The vehicle will then adjust tothe new maximum speed and the set tol-erance will be deleted from the system'smemory. If the Road Sign Information * system is
activated, the posted speed limit will be indicated by a RED marker on the spee-dometer's speed scale. The set tolerance can be adjusted in the same way as the Speed Limiter's setmaximum speed.
NOTE
The greatest tolerance that can be set is +/– 5 mph (10 km/h).

In models equipped with the optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the driver can togglebetween CC and ACC – see the article "Switch-ing between Cruise Control and Adaptive CruiseControl".
WARNING
• The vehicle must always be driven according to current traffic/road condi-tions. The driver must take action if CCdoes not maintain a suitable speedand/or distance to other vehicles.
• The driver is always responsible for oper-ating the vehicle in a safe manner.

NOTE
Before CC can be activated, the vehicle's speed must be at least 20 mph (30 km/h).This is also the lowest speed that can be set.
Activating CC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
–With the symbol displayed (CC is in
standby mode), press the
button (2) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts CC in active mode and will maintain the vehicle's current speed.

Changing Cruise Control speed
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols (generic illustration)
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or — (3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: changes speed in
+/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h) increments. Each press changes the vehicle's speedby +/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h).
• Press and hold
: changes the speed
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) at a time.Release the button when the set speedindicator (4)/(6) has moved to the desiredspeed.
If speed is increased by pressing the accelerator pedal before the
button is pressed, the vehi-
cle's speed when the button is pressed will become the set speed assuming that the accel- erator pedal is still depressed when the button ispressed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released. Alwaysobserve posted speed limits.
Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakeslightly. To avoid a loss of speed when drivingdown hills, use the engine braking functioninstead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In thissituation, the driver can temporarily deactivate theCC braking function. To do so:
–Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfway down and release it.
> CC will automatically deactivate the auto- matic brake function and will then only use the engine braking function.

Deactivating/resuming Cruise Control (CC) Cruise Control (CC) can be temporarily deacti- vated and put in standby mode.
Deactivating and putting CC in standbymode
To temporarily deactivate and put Cruise Control in standby mode:
Function buttons and symbols (generic illustration)
–Press the button (2).
> The set speed marker (4) and symbols will change colors from WHITE to GRAY. This indicates that CC is temporarily in standby mode and will not maintain a setspeed.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
CC is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied
• The gear selector is moved to
N
• the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute.
In these cases, the driver will have to regulate thevehicle's speed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
CC switches automatically to standby mode if:
• the wheels lose traction
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• brake temperature is too high
• the vehicle's speed goes below approx. 20 mph (30 km/h)
In these cases, the driver will have to regulate thevehicle's speed.
Reactivating CC from standby modeTo reactivate CC after it has temporarily been putin standby mode:
–Press the button (1).
> The set speed marker (4) will change color from GRAY to WHITE. The vehicle will then return to the most recently set
speed .
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed after the
button has been pressed.
