CRUISE CONTROL*
Do not use cruise control on twisting
roads, when high traffic density pre-
vents driving at a constant speed, when the
road surface is slick, e.g. from snow, rain or
ice, nor when the road surface is loose,
e.g. from rocks or sand.<
To activate the system
From ignition key position 1:
Press button 2.
The indicator lamp in the instrument clus-
ter lights up.
Cruise control is active.
To maintain and store speed or to
accelerate
The vehicle maintains and stores any
desired speed when driving above approx.
20 mph / 30 km/h and, for manual trans-
missions, when the selector lever is in 3rd
gear or higher.
Press button 3.
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed. Every time you tap the
button, the speed increases by approx.
1 mph / 2 km/h.
Press and hold button 3.
The vehicle accelerates without pressure on
the accelerator pedal. When you release
the button, the system maintains and
stores the current speed.
If, on a downhill gradient, the engine
braking effect is not sufficient, the
controlled speed may be exceeded. Speed
can drop on uphill grades if the engine out-
put is insufficient.<
To decelerate
Press button 4.
If you are already driving with active cruise
control, the speed is decreased by approx.
1 mph / 2 km/h every time you briefly tap
the button.
Press and hold button 4.
With the cruise control active, the system
automatically reduces the throttle opening
to slow the vehicle. When you release the
button, the system maintains and stores
the current speed.
