WARNING
• The function is supplementary driver sup-
port intended to facilitate driving and help
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual about this function
to learn of its limitations, which the driver
must be aware of before using the func-
tion.
• Driver support functions are not a substi-
tute for the driver's attention and judg-
ment. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe
manner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.
Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying
the brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes be
desirable to roll a bit faster and let speed be
reduced instead by engine braking alone. The
driver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-
trol braking function.

To disengage CC:
Press the accelerator pedal about halfway
–

> Cruise Control will automatically disen-
gage the automatic brake function and
speed will only be reduced using the
engine braking function.
