WARNING (continued)
people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the
parking aid.
Note
Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your vehicle, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
confirmed additionally when the symbol
fig.
150. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
If the parking aid is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is
A
in the position
, warning signal indicates interruption (vehicle can no longer
P

Cruise control system (CCS)*
Introduction
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h (20
mph), once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and
braking power of the engine. The cruise control system makes it possible - particu-
larly on long journeys - for you to rest your "accelerator foot".
WARNING
The cruise control system must not, for safety reasons, be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads or
loose chippings) - risk of accident!

Driving Tips
WARNING (continued)
In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control system, always
switch off the system after use.
Note
Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Always depress the clutch pedal if you
switch on the cruise control system when the gearbox is in Neutral. Otherwise the
engine can rev up unintentionally.
The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving
on steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which
it travels. One should shift down in good time to a lower gear or slow the vehicle
down by applying the foot brake.
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on the
cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or R.
Storing a speed
The cruise control system is operated by means of the switch
