Normally the vehicle is accelerated to
the desired speed with the accelera­
tor. Speed is set by briefly pushing the
lever to position 1 or 2. The accelera­
tor can then be released.
The speed can be increased (e.g. for
passing) by using the accelerator. As
soon as the accelerator is released,
the previously set speed will be
resumed automatically.
If a set speed is to be increased or
decreased slightly, e.g. to adapt to the
traffic flow, hold lever in position 1 or 2
until the desired speed is reached, or
briefly tip the control lever in the
appropriate direction for increases or
decreases in 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
increments. When the lever is re­
leased, the newly set speed remains.
3 Canceling
To cancel the cruise control,
briefly push lever to position 3.
When you step on the brake pedal
or the vehicle speed falls below
approx. 40 km/h (25 mph), for
example when driving upgrade,
the cruise control will be canceled.
4 Resume
If the lever is briefly pulled to
position 4 when driving at a speed
exceeding approximately 40 km/h
(25 mph), the vehicle resumes the
speed which was set prior to the
cancellation of the cruise control.
The last memorized speed is
canceled when the key in the
steering lock is turned to posi­
tion 1 or 0.
