BMW x5 2001 ユーザーズマニュアル

Cruise control

You can store and automatically main-
tain any desired vehicle speed above
approx. 20 mph (30 km/h).

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
surface is loose (rocks or gravel,
sand).

To activate the system

In ignition key position 1 or 2:
Press button 1, the indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster comes on. You can
now use the cruise control.

For the arrangement of the buttons in
the Sports steering wheel

To store and maintain speed or to
accelerate

Press button 2 briefly:
The system stores and maintains 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 2:
The vehicle accelerates without pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal. When
you release the button, the system
stores and maintains 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.

To decelerate

Press button 3 briefly:
When cruise control is active, every
briefly touch of the button reduces the
speed by approx. 0.6 mph (1 km/h).

Press and hold button 3:
With the cruise control active, the
system automatically reduces the
throttle opening to slow the vehicle.
When you release the button, the
system stores and maintains the
current speed.
