Cruise control

You can automatically maintain and
store any desired vehicle speed above
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.

You can use cruise control whenever
the system is active while the engine is
running.

To activate the system

From ignition key position 2:
Press button; the indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster comes on, refer to
page

. You can now use the cruise

control.

Do not use cruise control on
twisting roads, when high traffic

density prevents driving at a constant
speed, when the road surface is slick –
snow, rain, ice – or when the road sur-
face is loose – rocks, gravel or sand.

To deactivate the system

Press the button repeatedly until the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
goes out.

The cruise control is also deactivated
when the ignition key is turned into
position 0.

The speed stored in the memory is
deleted.

To maintain and store speed or
to accelerate

Press button

briefly:

The system maintains and stores the
current vehicle speed. Every time you
briefly touch the button, the speed
increases by approx. 0.6 mph/1 km/h.

Press and hold button

The vehicle accelerates without pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal. When
you release the button, the system
maintains and stores the current speed.

If, on a downhill gradient, the
engine's braking effect is not suffi-

cient, the controlled speed can be
exceeded. Speed can drop on uphill
grades if the engine output is insuffi-
cient.
