NOTE
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens
out. Cruise control maintains the stored
speed on downhill gradients by automati-
cally braking the vehicle.
Storing the current speed or calling up the
last stored speed:
WARNING
If you call up a stored speed and this is
different from the current speed, the ve-
hicle accelerates or brakes. If you do not
know what the stored speed is, the vehicle
may accelerate or brake unexpectedly.
There is a risk of an accident.
Take the traffic conditions into account
before calling up the stored speed. If you do
not know what the stored speed is, store
the desired speed again.

2. Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal. The first time cruise control is acti-
vated, it stores the current speed or if a
speed has previously been stored, it regu-
lates the speed of the vehicle to the pre-
viously stored speed.
Setting a speed
