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.
- Always direct your full attention to the road, even when you are using the speed limiter. It is always the driver who is responsible for determining the speed and for keeping a safe distance to the other vehicles on the road.
- For safety reasons, the speed limiter must not be used in adverse weather or difficult driving conditions (such as ice, fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, etc.) - risk of accident!
- 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.
