BMW 318i Owner's Handbook Manual page 58

The minimum desired speed is 30 km/h or
20 mph, whereas the maximum desired speed
is 180 km/h or 110 mph.
Active Cruise Control does not release
you from your personal responsibility to
drive safely.
Consider road-surface, weather and visibility
conditions to decide whether and how the sys-
tem should be used.
Use the system only when traffic is flowing
smoothly and not on unsurfaced roads or roads
with sharp bends nor when there is road ice,
fog, snow or heavy rain.
Adjust your desired speed to traffic conditions,
and check your driving speed and safety dis-
tance. Be prepared to brake at all times. Other-
wise, driving conditions could result which pose
a risk of accident.<

The car's current speed is memorised. It is dis-
played in the speedometer and briefly in the
instrument cluster.
Increasing desired speed
Press or tap the lever to the pressure point or
beyond, arrow 1, until the desired speed is dis-
played.
> Each time the lever is tapped to the pres-
sure point, the desired speed is increased
by approx. 1 km/h or 1 mph.
>
Each time the lever is tapped beyond the
pressure point, the desired speed is
increased to the next multiple of 10 km/h or
5 mph on the speedometer display.
The speed then displayed is memorised and
reached as soon as the road ahead of you is
clear.
Decreasing desired speed
Pull the lever, arrow 2, until the desired speed is
displayed.
Other functions analogous to those described
under Increasing desired speed.
