Do you use the speedtronic limiter?

[mat8n]

What is the speedtronic limiter?
I can work the speed limiter.
I use cruise control, mine does 1mph and 5mph increase/decrease.

In don't know what speedtronic is?

I tried the limiter once, but I won't bother with it again. I have Distronic which I use a lot. (I found Speedtronic a waste of time on our roads.)

Car is driven in either cruise control or speed limiter depending on traffic conditions.

Like to be able to stick a finger up each nostril of traffic police!

Makes driving much more relaxed, do not have to constantly monitor the speed

Don’t use limiter as too much effort

Yeah, I run a proper sweat last time I twiddled the stalk.

I used the limiter... once!
Sometimes use cruise... mainly in the 50 limit roadworks on motorways.

I use both, regularly, as I commute using the Motorway, and these days it seems to be nothing but endless 50mph speed limits !
I find cruise is excellent when it`s quiet - set it to 50, bang-on, and chill out, but when it`s busy, I find the limiter equally useful when I know my speed will be going up/down, but still never above the limit I`ve set it to.

Perfect really !

Never use the speed limiter, feels a bit weird when driving to me. But I am a huge cruise control addict and use it loads!

 

[AltonAnt]

Thanks to this thread I looked into it and now know how it works so have started using it

 

[ACB44]

I use it on the GTS sometimes because I don't have the Distronic Plus on that however the E63 AMG does have Distronic so don't use the speedtronic at all in that one

 

[Gadgetmaster]

How regularly used the limiter on every Mercedes I have owned. Absolutely great around town, or in traffic / roadworks. Proud to have always had a clean licence, and feel that this helps keep it that way.

I use cruìse whenever traffic conditions allow and the speed limiter in roadworks and smart motorways, plus in 30 limits

Same here.

Same here.

It was the speed awareness course I did last year that made me start using the Limiter. I just set it to whatever the limit is round town and then you just don't need to look at the speedo.

I've used the limiter once but i use cruise control quite a bit. Should probably start using the limiter tho tbh as i pass a few speed cameras on the way to work in town sometimes and i either go into autopilot and cant remember if i was speeding or not or just want to plant the foot to hear the roar

 

[Headhurts]

I have never used the limiter deliberately but did use it accidentally in the early weeks of ownership

I use it a lot as i find it uses less fuel than cruise control. In my head (some have said its a strange place) i think it reduces fuel supply to keep your speed down whereas cc uses fuel to keep the speed up. Might not be how it does it but i get about approx 50mpg on cruise and 55mpg on limiter.
