Cruise control is available for use at speeds of
approx. 20 mph or 30 km/h. The car then mem-
orizes and maintains the speed that you specify
using the lever on the steering column. In order
to maintain the specified speed, the system

brakes the vehicle when the engine braking
effect is insufficient on downhill gradients.

Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions are unfavorable for driving at a

constant speed. Otherwise you could lose con-
trol of the vehicle and cause an accident as a
result. Unfavorable driving conditions include,
for example, winding roads, heavy traffic or a
poor road surface, e.g. snow, rain, ice or loose
material.

Manual transmission

You can shift gears while cruise control is acti-
vated. An indicator lamp notifies you that you
should shift gears when you drive for an
extended period at very high or very low engine
speeds, or the system is deactivated.

Maintaining current speed

Tap the lever, arrow

1, or pull it briefly, arrow 2.

The car's current speed is stored and main-
tained. It is displayed in the speedometer and
briefly in the instrument cluster.
On uphill gradients, it may prove impossible to
maintain the set speed if current engine power
output is insufficient. If the engine braking
effect is insufficient on downhill slopes, the sys-
tem will brake the vehicle slightly.
