WARNING
If you call up the stored speed and this
differs from your current speed, the vehi-
cle will accelerate. If you do not know the
stored speed, the vehicle can accelerate
unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Before you call up the stored speed, pay
attention to traffic conditions. If you do not
know the stored speed, store the desired
speed again.

Cruise control is used in order to drive longer
at a constant speed. The limiter helps to
avoid exceeding a stored speed.
The driver is responsible for driving the

following:
favourable weather and good visibility

On an uphill gradient or when accelerating
briefly, cruise control may interrupt speed
regulation. Afterwards, the set speed is
applied again.
On downhill slopes, the limiter can exceed
the set speed. In this case, the stored speed
flashes in the display and a warning tone
sounds.
Cruise control is ready for use at speeds
above 30 km/h. With the limiter, speeds of
30 km/h and over can be set as the maximum
speed.
Cruise control and limiter cannot be activa-
ted at the same time.
