Change a set speed by pressing the
or — (2) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
•
Press briefly: changes speed in
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) increments.
Each press changes the vehicle's speed
by +/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h).
•
Press and hold: Release the button
when the set speed indicator (4) has
moved to the desired speed.

DRIVER SUPPORT
erator pedal is still depressed when the button is
pressed.
A temporary increase in speed, such as when
passing another vehicle, does not affect the CC
set speed. The vehicle will return to the set speed
when the accelerator pedal is released.
Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakes
lightly. To avoid a loss of speed when driving
down hills, use the engine braking function
instead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In this
situation, the driver can temporarily deactivate the
CC braking function.
To do so:
–
Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfway
down and release it.
> CC will automatically deactivate the auto-
matic brake function and will then only
use the engine braking function.
