WARNING
For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
■
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads,
loose gravel) - risk of accident!
The saved speed may only be resumed if it is not too high for the current
■
traffic conditions.
Always switch off the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
■
tional use of the system.
CAUTION
Always depress the clutch pedal if switching to the neutral position (vehicle
■
with a manual gearbox) when the cruise control system is switched on! Otherwise
the engine can rev up unintentionally.
The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving
■
in areas with steeper gradients. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at
which it travels. Therefore, shift to a lower gear in good time or slow the vehicle
down by applying the foot brake.
Note
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on the
cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or R.
