WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-
•
port intended to facilitate driving and
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
The driver is advised to read all sections
•
in the Owner's Manual that relate to this
function to learn about factors such as its
limitations and what the driver should be
aware of before using the system.
Driver support functions are not a substi-
•
tute for the driver's attention and judge-
ment. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the car is driven in a safe man-
ner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.
Using engine braking instead of the
foot brake
With Cruise Control, speed is regulated with less
frequent application of the foot brake. On a
downhill gradient it may sometimes be desirable
to start moving a little faster and limit the acceler-
ation by engine braking. In this case the driver
can temporarily disable foot brake application by
Cruise Control.
To do so, proceed as follows:
Depress the accelerator pedal about halfway
–
down and release.
> Cruise Control will disengage its auto-
matic foot braking and then uses engine
braking only.
