Cruise control

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

The cruise control is available whenever
the engine is running and the system
has been activated.

To activate the system

From ignition key position 2:
Press the button and the indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster will come 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, or when the road surface is slick
(snow, rain, ice) or loose (rocks or
gravel, sand).

To deactivate the system

Press the button as often as needed
until the indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out.

Cruise control is also deactivated when
the ignition key is in position 0.

The speed stored in 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
tap 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 braking effect is not suffi-

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