US and EU cruise control difference. US doesn’t have LIM?

I live in USA and don’t have distronic so I was doing research on retrofits and saw that RJAUTOMOTIVE had a retrofit. I noticed the buttons were different. The USA distronic button has a “on/off” label as EU has a “LIM” label. RJ claims no difference in function (he can also order the on/off button for me well) However, it seems like the non-distronic EU button has the LIM function and US version does not.

Anyone have any insight into this?

i attached pics below


US version with distronic

US non distronic version

EU non distronic version.. has LIM

US spec models don't have the LIM function. Haven't seen it on US spec models. I have DISTRONIC in my C63, but no LIM. Just On/Off. The LIM function doesn't seem to be a thing in the USA. Pretty much any recent rental car I drove in Europe has it, but I don't think I've ever seen it on car in the USA. I think the feature can lead to confusion. If you are not aware of what it does and how it works one can be caught unexpectedly by it if the car fails to accelerate in an emergency.
