Driving

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 on 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.

Increasing desired speed

Repeatedly press the lever to the resistance
point or beyond, arrow

1, until the desired

speed is reached.

Each time the lever is pressed to the resis-
tance point, the desired speed is increased
by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.

Each time the lever is pressed beyond the
resistance point, the desired speed is
increased by up to 5 mph or 10 km/h.

The system stores and maintains the speed.

Accelerating using the lever

Accelerating slightly:
Press the lever to the resistance point, arrow

until the desired speed is reached.
Accelerating significantly:
Press the lever beyond the resistance point,
arrow

1, until the desired speed is reached.

The vehicle accelerates without pressure on
the accelerator pedal. The system stores and
maintains the speed.

Decreasing speed

Repeatedly pull the lever to the resistance point
or beyond, arrow

2, until the desired speed is

displayed.

Each time the lever is pulled to the resis-
tance point, the desired speed is decreased
by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.

Each time the lever is pulled beyond the
resistance point, the desired speed is
reduced by up to 5 mph or 10 km/h until the

minimum speed of 20 mph or 30 km/h is
achieved.

The system stores and maintains the speed.

Deactivating cruise control

Tap the lever upwards or downwards, arrow

The displays on the speedometer disappear.
In addition, the system is automatically deacti-
vated:

When you brake the vehicle

When you switch gears very slowly or shift
to neutral in cars with a manual transmis-
sion

When you engage selector lever position N
in cars with an automatic transmission

When you activate DTC or deactivate DSC

When DSC or ABS is intervening

Cruise control is not deactivated by depressing
the accelerator pedal. Once the accelerator
pedal is released, the stored speed is achieved
again and maintained.

Warning lamp

The warning lamp comes on when
cruise control has been deactivated
by applying the parking brake or as a

result of DSC intervention. A message appears
on the Control Display.

Resuming a speed stored beforehand

Press the button, arrow

4. The last stored

speed is resumed and maintained.
In the following instances, the stored speed is
deleted and can no longer be resumed:

When driving stability control systems are
intervening

In cars with a manual transmission: when
you switch gears very slowly or shift to neu-
tral

In cars with an automatic transmission:
when you engage selector lever position N

When the ignition is switched off
