System limitations
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
On long and steep downhill gradients, you should
change down to a lower gear in good time. Take
particular note of this when driving a laden vehi‐
cle. By doing so, you will make use of the
engine's braking effect. This relieves the load on
the brake system and prevents the brakes from
overheating and wearing too quickly.
Do not use cruise control in the following situa‐
tions:
In traffic situations where frequent speed
R
changes are required, e.g. in heavy traffic or
on winding roads.
On slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the
R
drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle
could then skid.
If you are driving when visibility is poor.

& WARNING Risk of accident due to stored
speed
If you call up the stored speed and this is
lower than your current speed, the vehicle
decelerates.
