Changing the set speed
Note: Vehicle speed may be increased and
decreased at intervals of 5 km/h or 5 mph.
Note: If the system does not react to these
changes the reason may be that the gap
interval to the vehicle in front prevents an
increase in speed.
Press switch A to increase or switch B to
decrease the set speed until the desired
set speed is shown in the information
display. The vehicle speed will gradually
change to the selected speed.
Setting the vehicle gap
Use the appropriate gap setting in
accordance with local traffic
regulations.
Note: The gap setting is time dependent
and therefore the distance will
automatically adjust with your speed. For
example on a gap setting of four bars, the
time gap is 1.8 seconds. This will mean that
at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), the
distance to the vehicle in front will be
maintained at 50 meters (164 feet).
Note: If the accelerator is depressed for a
short period, for example when overtaking,
the system is temporarily deactivated and
then reactivated when the accelerator pedal
is released. A message is displayed in the
information display.
Note: The gap setting will remain
unchanged during ignition cycles.
