Cruise control system

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing a speed
Changing a stored speed
Switching off temporarily
Switching off 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 in the instrument cluster lights up when the cruise con-

trol system is switched on.
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) – there is a risk of an 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 sys-
■
tem 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 as-
■
sist systems (e.g. ESC) intervene, when the speed exceeds maximum permissi-
ble engine speed, or a similar event takes place.

Depress the accelerator to increase the speed.

Release the accelerator to reduce the speed back down to the preset speed.
However, if the saved speed is exceeded by more than 10 km/h for a period of
more than 5 minutes by depressing the accelerator, the stored speed is de-
leted from the memory. The speed must then be saved again.
