displayed in large figures.
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
If the CCS cannot maintain a constant vehi-
cle speed downhill, brake and change down
a gear if necessary. The GRA is temporarily
disabled by pressing the brake.
Automatic off
The GRA disconnects automatically or is
temporarily interrupted:
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, ASR, TCS, etc.
If the brake pedal is pressed.
●
If the airbag is triggered.
●
If the lever is taken out of the D/S position.

Driving
WARNING
Use of GRA could cause accidents and se-
vere injuries if it is not possible to drive at a
constant speed maintaining the safety dis-
tance.
Do not use GRA in heavy traffic, if the dis-
●
tance from the vehicle in front is insuffi-
cient, on steep roads, with several bends or
in slippery circumstances or on flooded
roads.
Never use the CCS when driving off-road
●
or on unpaved roads.
Adapt your speed and the distance to the
●
vehicles ahead in line with visibility, weath-
er, 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 other conditions.
If driving down a steep gradient, the GRA
●
cannot maintain a constant speed. The
speed can increase. In this case, brake and
change down a gear.
