Cruise Control System
Introduction
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal. The status where the CCS maintains the speed
is referred to hereinafter as the control.
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 169, in section Introduction.
■
After pressing the clutch pedal, no interrupted control occurs! For exam-
ple, if a different gear is engaged and the clutch pedal is released, control is
continued.

Basic requirements for starting the control
The CCS is activated.
On vehicles with a manual transmission, the second gear or higher is en-
gaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, the selector lever is in the
D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is higher than 20 km/h.
This, however, is only possible to the extent permitted by the engine output
and braking power of the vehicle.
WARNING
If the engine output or engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain the
set speed, the driver must assume control of the accelerator and brake
pedals!
