Overview
Cruise control
*
 
The vehicle can store and automatically 
maintain any desired vehicle speed 
above approx. 20 mph (30 km/h) that 
you input. 
Do not use the cruise control on 
winding 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, sand).

To activate the system 
From ignition key position 2:
Press button 1. The indicator lamp in 
the instrument cluster comes on. You 
can now use the cruise control.

To store and maintain speed or 
to accelerate 
Press button 2 briefly:
The system registers and maintains the 
current vehicle speed. Every time you 
briefly touch the button, the speed 
increases by 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 
registers and maintains the current 
speed.
If, on a downhill gradient, the 
engine braking effect is not suffi-
cient, the controlled speed can be 
exceeded. Speed can drop on uphill 
grades if the engine output is 
insufficient.

you briefly touch the lever.

With the cruise control active, the 
system automatically reduces the 
throttle opening to slow the vehicle. 
When you release the button, the 
system registers and maintains the 
current speed.
