Speed limiter* - alarm for speed
exceeded
A Speed Limiter (Speed Limiter) can be regar-
ded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regu-
lates the speed using the accelerator pedal but
is prevented from accidentally exceeding a
pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter.
On steep roads the speed limiter's engine brak-
ing effect may be inadequate and the selected
maximum speed is exceeded. The driver is aler-
ted about this with an acoustic signal. The signal
is active until the driver has slowed to below the
selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if
the speed has been exceeded by at least
3 km/h (approx. 2 mph), provided that neither
of the or buttons has been depressed
during the last half minute.

> The combined instrument panel's (p. 191)
symbol for the speed limiter and the mark
for the set speed are extinguished. The

pedal to choose a speed without limita-
tion.

straight roads with regular traffic flows.
