G Risk of injury
Cruise control brakes automatically in
order to avoid exceeding the set speed. As
it does so, the brake pedal is depressed. Do
not place your foot under the brake pedal
as it could become trapped.
Storing and maintaining the current
speed
You can store the current speed if you are
driving faster than 30 km/h.
Accelerate the vehicle to the desired
X
speed.
Briefly press the cruise control lever up
X
1
or down 4.
Remove your foot from the accelerator
X
pedal.
Cruise control is activated. The vehicle
automatically maintains the stored speed.
i
Cruise control may be unable to maintain
the stored speed on uphill gradients. The
stored speed is resumed when the gradient
evens out. Cruise control maintains the
stored speed on downhill gradients by
automatically applying the brakes.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
When selecting another gear, press the
accelerator pedal slightly to increase the
smoothness of the gear change.
When you depress the clutch pedal and
change to another gear, the engine speed
can increase slightly as long as no gear is
selected.
Always drive at adequate but not exces-
R
sive engine speeds.
Change gear in good time.
R
If possible, do not change down several
R
gears at a time.
Resuming the last speed stored
G Risk of accident
Only select a stored speed if you know what
that speed is and whether it is suitable for
the current situation. Otherwise, sudden
acceleration or braking could endanger you
or others.
Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards

for a lower speed.
Keep the cruise control lever pressed until
X
the desired speed is reached.
Release the cruise control lever.

The new speed is stored.
i
Cruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. For exam-
ple, if you accelerate briefly to overtake,
cruise control adjusts the vehicle's speed
to the last speed stored after you have fin-
ished overtaking.
i
Deceleration of the vehicle by means of
the cruise control lever is assisted by auto-
matic application of the brakes.
Vehicles with automatic transmission*:
On long downhill gradients, the automatic
transmission shifts down as a further meas-
ure.
