I'm referring to the speed limiter (LIM button on the steering wheel). Cruise control keeps the desired speed indeed, but inside the city I prefer to use speed limiter, it is just more convenient to me. I also use it in Sport/Comfort modes, so that should not be the result of the transmission decoupling from the engine.
I've found this in the manual:
Quote:
If the set speed limit is reached or unintentionally
exceeded, such as when driving downhill, the vehicle
is not actively braked.

Seems like such behavior is by design. Now I'm just wondering why.
Edit: Found some info that Merc has/had a patent for a speed limiter that utilizes brakes. Makes sense, as my Infiniti (Q30) was based on a Merc platform.
