Maintaining and memorising speed,
accelerating
Press the lever as far as the pressure point,
arrow 1:
The car's current speed is maintained and
memorised. The needle 5 in the speedometer
indicates this speed, see Displays in the speed-
ometer on page 65. Each time the lever is
pressed again, the car's speed increases by
approx. 1 km/h or 1 mph.
Press the lever longer as far as the pressure
point:
The car accelerates without the accelerator
pedal being pressed. As soon as you release
the lever, the speed that the car has reached will
be maintained and memorised.
Press the lever beyond the pressure point if no
desired speeds 6 have been memorised:
The needle 5 jumps to the next multiple of
10 km/h or 5 mph and continues to jump for as
long as you hold the lever in position.The speed
now displayed is established and memorised.
If engine braking alone is insufficient on a down-
hill slope, the desired speed may be exceeded.
It may also prove impossible to maintain speed
with the available engine power on uphill
slopes.
