Temporary deactivation of speed
limiter
The speed limiter (SL
17
) can be temporarily
deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation with the
accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be temporarily
deactivated and overridden with the accelera-
tor pedal without the speed limiter first having
to be set in standby mode - e.g. to be able to
quickly accelerate the car out of a situation.
In which case, proceed as follows:
1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
release it to interrupt acceleration when
the desired speed has been reached.
> In this mode, the speed limiter is still
activated and the driver display's sym-
bol is therefore WHITE.
2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when
the temporary acceleration is finished.
> The car is then engine-braked automat-
ically to below the last stored maximum
speed.

Limitations for speed limiter
Speed limiter (SL
18
) has certain general limi-
tations.
On steep downhill gradients the speed limit-
er’s (SL
19
) braking effect may be inadequate
and hence the stored maximum speed may be
exceeded. In this case, the driver is alerted by
the message
Speed limit exceeded in the
driver display.
NOTE
A text message that the maximum speed is
exceeded will be activated if the speed has
been exceeded by at least 3 km/h
(approx. 2 mph).
