Deactivating cruise control
Press the lever upwards or downwards,
arrow 3. The displays in the speedometer dis-
appear.
In addition, the system is automatically deacti-
vated:
>
When you brake the vehicle
> When your road speed is less than 30 km/h
or 20 mph due to a traffic situation
> When you shift gears very slowly or shift to
idle position in vehicles with manual gear-
box
> When you move the selector lever to posi-
tion N in vehicles with automatic gearbox
> When you activate DTC or deactivate DSC
>
When DSC or ABS is intervening
> When the system does not detect any
objects for a lengthy period of time, e.g. on
infrequently driven roads without defined
boundaries or due to a dirty radar sensor,
see page 58
When the system is deactivated, you
must brake the vehicle yourself and/or
manoeuvre as necessary, otherwise there is a
risk of accident.<
