The cruise control system (CCS) is able to
maintain the set speed from 20 km/h (15
mph).
The CSS only reduces vehicle speed by
ceasing to accelerate, not by actively braking

Changing gear in CCS mode
The CCS decelerates as soon as the clutch
pedal is pressed, intervening again automati-
cally after a gear is engaged.
Travelling down hills with the CCS
When travelling down hills the CCS cannot
maintain a constant speed. Slow the vehicle
down using the brake pedal and reduce
gears if required.
Automatic off
The cruise control system (CCS) is switched
off automatically or temporarily:
If the system detects a fault that could af-
●
fect the working order of the CCS.
If you press and maintain the accelerator
●
pedal for a certain time, driving faster than
the stored speed.
If the dynamic driving control systems inter-
●
vene (e.g. ASR or ESC).
If the brake pedal is pressed.
●
If the airbag is triggered.
●
®
If the gear lever of the DSG dual clutch
●
gearbox is removed from the D/S position.
WARNING
Use of the cruise control could cause acci-
dents and severe injuries if it is not possible
to drive at a constant speed maintaining
the safety distance.
Do not use the cruise control in heavy
●
traffic, if the distance from the vehicle in
front is insufficient, on steep roads, with
several bends or in slippery circumstances
(snow, ice, rain or loose gravel), or on floo-
ded roads.
Never use the CCS when driving off-road
●
or on unpaved roads.
Always adapt your speed and the dis-
●
tance to the vehicles ahead in line with visi-
bility, weather conditions, the condition of
the road and the traffic situation.
To avoid unexpected operation of the
●
cruise control system, turn it off every time
you finish using it.
It is dangerous to use a set speed which is
●
too high for the prevailing road, traffic or
weather conditions.
When travelling down hills, the CCS can-
●
not maintain a constant speed. The vehicle
tends to accelerate under its own weight.
Select a lower gear or use the foot brake to
slow the vehicle.
