DRIVER SUPPORT
Managing speed for the Cruise
Control
29
Cruise control (CC
) can be set to different
speeds.
Setting/changing the stored speed
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary
depending on car model.
–
Change the set speed with short or long
presses on steering wheel button
(3):
•
Short press: Each press changes the
speed in increments of +/- 5 km/h
(+/- 5 mph).
•
Press and hold: Release the button when
the speed indicator (4) has moved to the
desired speed

The speed set after the last button press is
stored in the memory.
If the driver increases the car's speed using the
accelerator pedal before pressing the steering
wheel button
(1), the speed stored will be
the car's speed when the button is depressed,
provided the driver's foot is on the accelerator
pedal at the moment when the button is
depressed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Using engine braking instead of the
foot brake
With Cruise Control, speed is regulated with less
frequent application of the foot brake. On a
downhill gradient it may sometimes be desirable
to start moving a little faster and limit the acceler-
ation by engine braking. In this case the driver
(1) or
can temporarily disable foot brake application by
Cruise Control.
To do so, proceed as follows:
–
Depress the accelerator pedal about halfway
down and release.
> Cruise Control will disengage its auto-
matic foot braking and then uses engine
braking only.
Cruise control dependence on drive
mode
The cruise control's way of maintaining a speed
may vary depending on the selected drive
30
mode
.
Cruise control Eco Cruise
In ECO drive mode the cruise control's accelera-
tions and decelerations become smoother com-
pared to other drive modes to optimise fuel and
environmental economy. This can cause the car's
speed to be temporarily above or below the set
speed.
Cruise control Dynamic Cruise
In Dynamic drive mode, the cruise control's accel-
erations and decelerations are felt more strongly
and seem more direct compared to other modes.
