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 at a
constant speed for a prolonged period. The
limiter helps to avoid exceeding a stored
speed.
The driver is responsible for driving the
vehicle in a safe manner, controlling the
vehicle speed and braking in good time.
If there is a change of drivers, inform the new
driver of the speed stored.
The two driver assist systems require the
following:
favourable weather and good visibility
R
good road and traffic conditions
R
The cruise control and limiter systems do not
brake automatically.
reduce the vehicle speed by applying the
R
brakes
Speed regulation is cancelled when the fol-
lowing occur:
braking (including the parking brake)

ESP intervention

On downhill gradients or when accelerating
briefly, cruise control may interrupt speed
switch lights up.
