Deactivating and putting Speed

Limiter in standby mode

The Speed Limiter (SL

) can be temporarily

deactivated and put in standby mode.

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary
depending on model.

To deactivate the Speed Limiter and put it in
standby mode:

–

Press the

button on the steering wheel

(2).
> The speed limit markings and symbols in

the instrument panel will change from
WHITE to GRAY. This indicates that the
Speed Limiter is temporarily deactivated
and the driver can exceed the set maxi-
mum speed.

Temporarily deactivating using the
accelerator pedal

The set maximum speed can be temporarily
deactivated and exceeded using the accelerator
pedal without first putting the Speed Limiter in
standby mode, e.g. when quick acceleration is
required.

To do so:

1. Depress the accelerator as far as possible

and then release it when the desired speed
has been reached.
> The Speed Limiter will remain activated

and the symbol in the instrument panel
will be WHITE.

2. Release the accelerator pedal fully when the

temporary acceleration is completed.
> The vehicle will use engine braking to

automatically slow down to a speed below
the most recently set maximum speed.

Cruise Control limitations

On steep downgrades, the Speed limiter's brak-
ing capacity may not be sufficient and the set
maximum speed may be exceeded. If this hap-
pens,

Speed limit exceeded

will be displayed in

the instrument panel to alert the driver.

A text message on exceeded max. speed is
activated if the speed is exceeded by at least
3 km/h (ca 2 mph).

Automatic Speed Limiter

The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) function
helps the driver adapt the vehicle's maximum
speed to the posted speed limits.

The Speed Limiter (SL

) function can be

switched to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL).

The Automatic Speed Limiter function uses
speed information from the Road Sign Informa-
tion function (RSI) to automatically adapt the
vehicle's maximum speed.

Speed Limiter

DRIVER SUPPORT

280

WARNING

•

The ASL function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
help make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.

•

Even if the driver can clearly see the
speed limit sign, the speed information
from the Road Sign Information (RSI)
function to ASL may be incorrect. In such
cases, the driver must intervene and
accelerate or brake to an appropriate
speed.

•

ASL is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.

•

See also the heading "Road Sign Infor-
mation limitations".

Is SL or ASL active?

The symbols in the instrument panel indicate
which Speed Limiter function is active:

Activating/deactivating Automatic

Speed Limiter

The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) is a supple-
ment to the Speed Limiter (SL) and can be acti-
vated/deactivated.

Activating ASL

The

Speed Sign Assist

but-

ton is located in the center dis-
play's Function view.

To activate the Automatic Speed Limiter:

1. Tap the

Speed Sign Assist

button.

> ASL will go into standby mode and a

green indicator light will illuminate. A road
sign symbol will be displayed in the center
of the speedometer in the instrument
panel.

2. Pressing the

button on the steering

wheel keypad.
> ASL will be activated and set to the vehi-

cle's current speed.

•

If the Automatic Speed Limiter function is
activated, road sign information is shown
in the driver display even if RSI

is not

activated.

•

To remove road sign information from the
driver display, you must deactivate both
Automatic Speed Limiter and RSI.

•

When the Automatic Speed Limiter func-
tion is activated but RSI is deactivated, no
warnings are given from RSI. RSI must
also be activated for warnings to be pos-
sible.

Deactivating ASL

To deactivate the Automatic Speed Limiter:

–

Tap the

Speed Sign Assist

button in Func-

tion view.
> ASL will be deactivated, the indicator light

in the button will be GRAY and SL will be
activated instead.

WARNING

The vehicle will no longer follow the posted

maximum speed after switching from ASL to

SL – it then only follows the maximum speed

stored in the memory.

Changing Automatic Speed Limiter

tolerance

The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) can be set
to different tolerance levels.

It is also possible to allow the vehicle to drive
above or below the posted speed limit. For exam-
ple, if the vehicle is following a current posted
speed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph), the driver can
instead allow the vehicle to maintain a speed of
75 km/h (47 mph).

Function buttons and symbols

–

Tap the

(1) button on the steering

wheel keypad until 70 km/h (43 mph) has
been changed to 75 km/h (47 mph) in the
center of the speedometer (4).
> The vehicle will then use the selected tol-

erance of 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as the
posted speed limit the vehicle passes is
70 km/h (43 mph).

This tolerance level will be followed until
the vehicle passes a sign with a lower or
higher speed. The vehicle will then adjust
to the new speed limit and the set toler-
ance will be deleted from the system's
memory.

If Road Sign Information*

is activated,

the posted speed limit will also be indi-
cated by a RED marking on the speedom-
eter.

The set tolerance can be adjusted in the same
way as for the Speed Limiter's speed.

The highest possible selectable tolerance is
+/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Automatic Speed Limiter limitations

Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) utilizes the
speed limit information provided by the RSI

function, not from the speed limit signs that the
vehicle passes.

If RSI

is unable to interpret and provide ASL

with speed information, ASL will go into standby
mode and switch over to SL. The driver will then
have to actively brake to bring the vehicle down
to the appropriate speed.

ASL will be reactivated when RSI

is once again

able to interpret and provide speed information to
ASL.

See “Road Sign Information limitations” for more
information.

in the Owner's Manual about this function
to learn of its limitations, which the driver
must be aware of before using the func-
tion (see the link list at the end of this
article).

holding them:

•

Press briefly: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 5 mph
(+/- 5 km/h) increments.

Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes

Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying
the brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes be
desirable to roll a bit faster and let speed be
reduced instead by engine braking alone. The
driver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-
trol braking function.

To disengage CC:

–

Press the accelerator pedal about halfway
down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen-

gage the automatic brake function and
speed will only be reduced using the
engine braking function.

How drive mode affects cruise control

The way the cruise control maintains the vehicle's
speed can vary depending on the selected drive
mode

Cruise Control Eco Cruise with ECO drive
mode

In the ECO drive mode, cruise control's accelera-
tion and deceleration will be smoother than in
other drive modes to help provide optimal fuel
efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Because of this, the vehicle's actual speed may
be slightly above or below the set speed.

For more information, see "ECO drive mode"
under "Eco Cruise".

Cruise Control Dynamic Cruise

With the Dynamic drive mode, cruise control's
acceleration and deceleration will be faster and
more immediate than in other drive modes.
