Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing a speed
Changing a stored speed
Switching off the cruise control system temporarily
Switching off the cruise control system completely
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed above 25 km/h, once
it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and
braking power of the engine.
The warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster when the cruise control

system is activated.
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 deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the system
■
being enabled unintentionally.
CAUTION
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.
It is not possible to switch on the cruise control system on vehicles fitted with a
■
manual gearbox if first gear or reverse gear is engaged.
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.
The cruise control system may automatically switch off when some brake assist
■
systems (e.g. ESC) intervene, when the speed exceeds maximum permissible en-
gine speed, or a similar event takes place.
