Speed Limiter - Vehicles With: Adaptive Cruise Control
Principle of Operation
WARNING:
When you are going downhill, your vehicle speed may increase above the set speed. The system will not apply the brakes but a warning displays. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. |
The system allows you to set a speed, to which your vehicle then becomes limited. The set speed will become the effective maximum speed of your vehicle, but with the option to temporarily exceed this limit if required.
Using the System
Note:
The set speed limit can be intentionally exceeded for a short period of time if required, for example when overtaking.
The system is operated by adjustment controls mounted on the steering wheel.
Switching the System On and Off
Press LIM CNCL/OFF to set the limiter in standby mode. The information display will prompt you to set a speed. Press LIM CNCL/OFF with the limiter in standby mode to turn the system OFF.
Setting the Speed Limit
- Press SET- with the limiter in standby mode to set the limiter to the current vehicle speed. Speed limitation activates and the LIM symbol in the information display shows as green.
- Press RES+ or SET- to select your desired speed limit. The speed is displayed in the information display and stored as the set speed.
- Press LIM CNCL/OFF to cancel the limiter and place it in standby mode. The LIM symbol in the information display shows as grey.

Intentionally Exceeding the Set Speed Limit
Firmly depress the accelerator to temporarily turn the system off. The system will reactivate once your vehicle speed drops below the set speed.
System Warnings

If you intentionally exceed the set speed, only the set speed indicator in the information display will flash.
Using the Intelligent Speed Limiter (If Equipped)
|
WARNING:
The system is designed to aid the driver. It is not intended to replace your attention and judgment. You are still responsible to drive with due care and attention. |
Note:
When driving between countries that use different units of measure (miles per hour or kilometers per hour), there may be a delay before the system changes between speed limit units. During this time, the display screen for the speed limiter may differ from the actual posted speed limit. For best performance, make sure that the navigation SD card is in the navigation media port.
The system allows you to automatically limit your vehicle speed to the speed limit that is detected by the Traffic Sign Recognition system.
You can change the speed limiter mode between manual and intelligent in the information display. See
General Information.
You can select a permanent set speed tolerance that is in addition to the detected speed limit through the tolerance menu in the information display. See
General Information.
Switching the System On and Off
Press LIM CNCL/OFF to set the limiter in standby mode. The information display will prompt you to set a speed or show the detected speed limit as the set speed. The Intelligent Speed Limiter will not limit the vehicle speed in standby mode. The Auto LIM symbol and set speed indication show as grey in standby mode. Press LIM CNCL/OFF with the limiter in standby mode to switch the system off.
Setting the Speed Limit
- Press Res+ with the limiter in standby mode to set the limiter to the detected speed limit. Speed limitation activates and the Auto LIM symbol shows as green.
- Press SET- with the limiter in standby mode to set the limiter to the current vehicle speed. Speed limitation activates and the Auto LIM symbol shows as green.
- Press RES+ or SET- to gradually change the current set speed to your desired speed limit. The speed is displayed in the information display and stored as the set speed.

- Press RES+ to resume the limiter. The Auto LIM symbol shows as green.
- The limit speed will automatically adapt to the speed limit detected by the Traffic Sign Recognition system. The Intelligent Speed Limiter will not react to speed limits shown with a supplementary sign by the Traffic Sign Recognition system. If there is no speed limit information available, the limiter will switch to standby mode.
Intentionally Exceeding the Set Speed Limit
Firmly depress the accelerator pedal to temporarily turn the system off. The system will reactivate once your vehicle speed drops below the set speed.
System Warnings
If the set speed is automatically set to a lower value than your current vehicle speed, the set speed indicator in the information display will flash and you will hear an audible warning chime if you are continuously exceeding the set speed.
If you accidently exceed the set speed, the set speed indicator in the information display will flash and you will hear an audible warning chime.
If you intentionally exceed the set speed, only the set speed indicator in the information display will flash.
If the Traffic Sign Recognition system detects a speed limit outside the operational speed range, you will hear a single warning chime and the system will switch to standby mode.
