Deactivating/reactivating the speed limiter
The speed limiter (Speed Limiter - SL) can be temporarily deactivated so that it is set in thestandby mode and can be reactivated later.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
Deactivate the speed limiter and set it
in standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limit markings and symbols in the driver display change colour from WHITE to GREY - the speed limiter is nowtemporarily deactivated and the driver canexceed the maximum speed setting.
Reactivating the speed limiter from standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (1).
> The driver display's speed limit markings change colour from GREY to WHITE - the car's speed is then limited again by thelast stored maximum speed.
or
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limiter indicators and symbols in the driver display change colour from GREY to WHITE — the car will now applyits current speed as the maximum speed.
Temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be temporarily overrid- den with the accelerator pedal without the speedlimiter being set in standby mode - e.g. to be ableto quickly accelerate the car out of a situation. Inwhich case, proceed as follows:
1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and release it so that acceleration is interrupted when the desired speed has been reached.
> In this case, the speed limiter is still acti-vated and the driver display's symbol is therefore WHITE.
2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when the temporary acceleration is finished.
> The car is then braked automaticallybelow the last stored maximum speed.

Automatic speed limiter *
The automatic speed limiter (Automatic Speed
Limiter - ASL) function helps the driver to adaptthe car's maximum speed to the speed shownon the road signs.
The speed limiter function (Speed Limiter — SL) can be changed to automatic speed limiter. The automatic speed limiter uses speed informa- tion from the Road Sign Information 3
function to
automatically adapt the car's maximum speed.
WARNING
The automatic speed limiter function is an aid, and does not work in all driving situations,traffic, weather and road conditions. The driveralways bears responsibility for maintaining thecorrect distance and speed, as well as whenthe automatic speed limiter is being used. Even if the driver clearly sees the speed-rela- ted road sign, the speed from the Road signinformation function many be incorrect - insuch cases the driver must intervene him/herself and accelerate or brake to a suitablespeed. See also the heading "Limitations for Road sign information".
Is SL or ASL active?Symbols in the driver display show which speed limiter function is active:

Sign symbol B

vated.

The ASL symbol
The sign symbol (displayed alongside the stored speed, "70", in the centre ofthe speedometer) can be shown inthree colours with the following mean-
ings:
Colour of sign

For example, scanning of a sign failed.
Limitations of ASLAutomatic speed limitation takes place using speed information from the RSI 3
function - not
from the speed limit road signs that the car passes. If RSI 3
cannot interpret and provide speed infor-
mation to the ASL, then the ASL is set in standby mode and changes over to SL. In such cases thedriver must intervene and brake to a suitablespeed. The ASL will be reactivated when the RSI 3
func-
tion can once again interpret and provide speed information to the ASL. See also the heading "Limitations for Road Sign Information".

Activating/deactivating the automatic speed limiter
The automatic speed limiter function (Automatic Speed Limiter - ASL) can be activated anddeactivated as a supplement to the speed limiter(Speed Limiter - SL).
The function is activated/deac- tivated in function view in thecentre display.
Activating the automatic speed limiter1. Tap on the Speed Sign Assist button in
function view.
> ASL is set in standby mode, a green indi- cator appears on the button, and the driver display shows a sign symbol in thecentre of the speedometer.
2. Press the steering wheel button
.
> ASL is activated with the car

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.283
Changing the tolerance for the Automatic speed limiter
The speed limiter function (Automatic Speed Limiter - ASL) can be set for different tolerancelevels.
It is possible to increase/decrease the signed speed limit. If, for example, the car follows asigned speed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph) thedriver can instead choose to allow the car tomaintain 75 km/h (47 mph).
Buttons and symbols for functions.
–Press the steering wheel button (1)
until 70 km/h (43 mph) in the centre of the speedometer (4) changes to 75 km/h(47 mph).
> After which, the car uses the selected tol- erance 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as signs passed are showing 70 km/h (43 mph). The tolerance is followed until a road sign with a lower or higher speed is passed -then the car follows the new signedspeed limit instead and the tolerance isdeleted from the memory. If the Road Sign Information * function is
activated, the signed speed limit will then be shown with a RED indicator on thespeedometer. The tolerance is adjusted in the same way as thespeed setting is in the speed limiter.
NOTE
The maximum selectable tolerance is +/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Cruise control
The cruise control (Cruise Control - CC) helps the driver maintain an even speed, resulting in amore relaxed driving on motorways and long,straight roads in regular traffic flows.

standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limit markings and symbols in the driver display change colour from WHITE to GREY — Cruise Control is nowtemporarily deactivated and the driver cantemporarily exceed the set speed.
Standby mode on driver intervention
The cruise control is temporarily deactivated and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the gear selector is moved to
N position
• the clutch pedal is held depressed for longerthan 1 minute
• the driver maintains a speed higher than thestored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself. A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affectthe setting - the car returns to the last storedspeed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if:
• wheels lose traction
• engine speed is too low/high
• brake temperature is too high
• speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself.

Distance Warning *
The Distance Warning function (Distance Alert) warns the driver if the time interval to the vehicleahead becomes too short.
Distance warning is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to thevehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. Nodistance information is provided for oncoming,slow or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the presetvalue - the speed of the driver's vehicle is notaffected.
Head-up display *
Symbol for Distance Warning on the windscreen 4
.
In cars equipped with head-up display, a symbol is shown on the windscreen for as long as thetime interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter thanthe preset value. However, this presupposes that the
Show Driver Support function is activated
via settings in the car's menu system; see the heading "Head-up display" for how this works.
NOTE
Information on the windscreen may be diffi- cult to see in strong sunlight and when wear-ing sunglasses.
