Using cruise control can lead to an accident if the
prevailing traffic situation does not allow you to drive
at a sufficient distance to the car in front and at a
constant speed.
e Do not use cruise control in heavy traffic, on
windy stretches of road or in unfavorable road
conditions (e.g. wintery conditions, wet roads,
varying road surfaces).

Always heed any warning and information messages
displayed in the vehicle.
> Please see chapter "Warning and Information
Messages" on page 280.
Operating principle
Cruise control maintains the chosen speed in the
range between approx. 20 and 150 mph (30 and
240 km/h) without the driver having to press the
gas pedal.
Information
– Vehicles with PDK: Active downshifting and
braking intervention are carried out automatically
to help maintain the pre-selected speed (espe-
cially when driving downhill).
– Vehicles with manual transmission: Cruise con-
trol is not interrupted when the clutch pedal is
pressed while changing gear.
