▷ Each time the rocker switch is pressed to the
resistance point, the desired speed is in‐
creased or decreased by 1 km/h, 1 mph.
▷ Each time the rocker switch is pressed be‐
yond the resistance point, the desired speed
changes to the next multiple of 10 km/h on
the km/h display or the next multiple of 5 mph

pends on the vehicle.
▷ Pressing the rocker switch to the resistance
point and holding it there accelerates or de‐
celerates the vehicle without pressing the ac‐
celerator pedal.
The speed is maintained when the rocker
switch is released. Pressing beyond the re‐
sistance point accelerates the vehicle more
rapidly.
Resuming Cruise Control
If Cruise Control is interrupted, it can be resumed
by calling up the stored speed.
Before calling up the stored speed, make sure
that the difference between the current speed
and the stored speed is not too great. Otherwise,
there may be unintentional braking or accelera‐
tion.
With the system interrupted, press the
button.
Cruise Control is resumed with the stored values.
The stored speed is deleted and can no longer
be called up in the following instances:
▷ When the system is switched off.
