Always switch the speed limiter off after use to prevent it from being activated unintentionally.
- Even when using the speed limiter, the driver maintains full responsibility for controlling the vehicle s speed.
- Using the speed limiter in adverse weather is dangerous and can result in a serious accident if you encounter heavy rain, snow, ice, wet leaves etc. You should only use the speed limiter if the road conditions and weather allow you to do so safely.
- Only accelerate quickly or use the kick-down feature when the visibility and weather conditions are suitable, and when the road and traffic conditions allow you do do so safely.
CAUTION
Before driving down a long, steep gradient, it is advisable to reduce speed and select a lower gear. In this way you will make use of the engine braking effect and relieve the load on the brakes.
