WARNING
If you call up a stored speed and this is dif-
ferent from the current speed, the vehicle
accelerates or brakes. If you do not know
what the stored speed is, the vehicle may
accelerate or brake unexpectedly. There is a
risk of an accident.
Take the traffic conditions into account
before calling up the stored speed. If you do
not know what the stored speed is, store the
desired speed again.
! Do not exceed the maximum design speed
of the individual gears. Observe the rev
counter.
If you fail to adapt your driving style or fail to
pay attention to your surroundings, cruise con-
trol can neither reduce the risk of an accident
nor override the laws of physics. Cruise con-
trol cannot take road and weather conditions
into account, nor the prevailing traffic situa-
tion. Cruise control is only an aid. You are
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time
and remaining in lane. You should always
adapt your driving style to suit prevailing road
and weather conditions.
Do not use cruise control:
in traffic conditions that do not allow you to
R
drive at a constant speed (e.g. heavy traffic
or winding roads). You may otherwise cause
an accident.
on slippery roads. The drive wheels may
R
lose their grip when braking or accelerating
and the vehicle may skid.

tolerance, the continuous brake is applied

If you are driving slower than 15 km/h, cruise
control cannot be activated.
If cruise control cannot be activated, the on-
board computer will display
