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 set speed, more than 25 km/h, with-
out you having to actuate 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 control

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 system
■
being switched on 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 the 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 permissible
114
engine speed, or a similar event takes place.
