Switching the system on
Press switch C. The system is set to
standby mode.
Setting a speed
Note: The system must be in standby
mode.
Press switch A or switch B to select your
desired cruise speed. The speed is
displayed in the information display and
stored as the set speed.
Changing the set speed
Note: Vehicle speed may be increased and
decreased at intervals of 5 km/h or 5 mph.
Note: If the system does not react to these
changes the reason may be that the gap
interval to the vehicle in front prevents an
increase in speed.
A
Press switch A to increase or switch B to
decrease the set speed until the desired
set speed is shown in the information
display. The vehicle speed will gradually
change to the selected speed.
Setting the vehicle gap
B
Note: The gap setting is time dependent
and therefore the distance will
automatically adjust with your speed. For
example on a gap setting of four bars, the
time gap is 1.8 seconds. This will mean that
at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), the
distance to the vehicle in front will be
maintained at 50 metres (164 feet).
Note: If the accelerator is depressed for a
short period, for example when overtaking,
the system is temporarily deactivated and
then reactivated when the accelerator pedal
is released. A message is displayed in the
information display.
Note: The gap setting will remain
unchanged during ignition cycles.

Use the appropriate gap setting in
accordance with local traffic
regulations.
