Concept
Using this system, a desired speed and a dis‐
tance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the desired speed on
clear roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes
automatically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of your vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained. The
speed is adjusted as far as the given situation al‐
lows.
General information
Depending on the settings, the cruise control
settings many change under certain conditions.
The distance can be adjusted in several steps.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respective
speed.
