120 Driving and operating
SET/-: Move the thumbwheel down
briefly to set a speed and activate
cruise control. If cruise control is
already active, use to decrease
vehicle speed.
Setting cruise control
To set a speed:
1. Press the m button to turn cruise
control on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
3. Move the thumbwheel down
toward SET/− and release it. The
desired set speed briefly appears
in the instrument cluster.
4. Remove foot from the accelerator
pedal.
When the brakes are applied, the
system deactivates the cruise control.
Resuming a set speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired
speed and then the brakes are
applied, the cruise control is
disengaged without erasing the set
speed from memory. Once the
vehicle speed is approx. 20 mph or
higher, briefly move the thumbwheel
up toward RES/+ and then release it.
The vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.
Increasing speed
If the cruise control system is already
activated:
■ Move the thumbwheel up toward
RES/+ and hold it, until the vehicle
accelerates to the desired speed,
then release it.
■ To increase the speed in small
increments, briefly move the
thumbwheel up toward RES/+ and
then release it. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes approx.
1 mph faster.
Reducing speed
If the cruise control system is already
activated:
■ Move the thumbwheel toward SET/
− and hold until the desired lower
speed is reached, then release it.
■ To slow down in very small
increments, briefly move the
thumbwheel toward SET/− . Each
time this is done, the vehicle goes
approx. 1 mph slower.
Passing another vehicle
Use the accelerator pedal to increase
the vehicle speed. If taking the foot off
the pedal, the vehicle slows down to
the previously set cruise control
speed. While pressing the accelerator
pedal or shortly following the release
to override cruise control, briefly
moving the thumbwheel toward
SET/- will result in cruise control set
to the current vehicle speed.
