Deactivating cruise control
Press the lever up or down. The displays in the
speedometer go out.
In addition, the system is automatically deacti-
vated:
> when the speed is reduced to below 20 mph
or 30 km/h due to a traffic situation
> when DTC is activated or DSC is deacti-
vated
> when the system does not recognize any
objects for an extended period of time, e.g.
on infrequently traveled roads without a
shoulder or guard rails, or if the radar sensor
is covered with dirt, refer to page 72
> when you actuate the parking brake during
driving
> when you shift the transmission into posi-
tion N
If the system is deactivated, then it is nec-
essary for the driver to actively intervene
by braking and possibly swerving. Otherwise,
there is the danger of an accident.<

ance of the navigation system.
