CAUTION
Failure to heed the warning lamps when
they appear may result in faults in the v

Cruise control operation
Read the additional information carefully
›››
page 26
The cruise control system (CCS) is able to in-
dividually maintain the set speed when driv-
ing forwards from approx. 20 km/h (15 mph).
The CCS only slows down by reducing the
accelerator but not by braking

elling down hills with the CCS
When travelling down hills the CCS cannot
maintain a constant speed. Slow the vehicle
down using the brake pedal and reduce
gears if required.
Automatic off
The cruise control system (CCS) is switched
off automatically or temporarily:
●
If the system detects a fault that could af-
fect the working order of the CCS.
●
If you increase the stored speed by press-
ing the accelerator pedal for a certain time.
●
If the brake pedal is pressed.
●
If the gear is changed with the manual
gearbox.
●
If the airbag is triggered.
WARNING
Use of the cruise control could cause acci-
dents and sever
e injuries if it is not possible
to drive at a constant speed maintaining
the safety distance.
●
Do not use the cruise control in heavy
traffic, if the distance from the vehicle in
front is insufficient, on steep roads, with
several bends or in slippery circumstances
(snow, ice, rain or loose gravel), or on floo-
ded roads.
●
Never use the CCS when driving off-road
or on unpaved roads.
●
Always adapt your speed and the dis-
tance to the vehicles ahead in line with visi-
bility, weather conditions, the condition of
the road and the traffic situation.
●
To avoid unexpected operation of the
cruise control system, turn it off every time
you finish using it.
●
It is dangerous to use a set speed which is
too high for the prevailing road, traffic or
weather conditions.
●
When travelling down hills, the CCS can-
not maintain a constant speed. The vehicle
tends to accelerate under its own weight.
Select a lower gear or use the foot brake to
slow the vehicle.
Parking distance warning
syst
em*
Intr
oduction
The parking distance warning system assists
the driver when parking. If the rear of the v
e-
hicle is approaching an obstacle, an intermit-
tent audible warning is emitted. The shorter
the distance, the shorter the intervals be-
tween tones. If the vehicle is too close to the
obstacle, the audible warning becomes con-
stant.
If you continue to approach an obstacle
when the sound is continuous, this means the
system can no longer measure the distance.
Sensors situated on the rear bumper transmit
and receive ultrasound. Using the ultrasound
signal (transmission, reflection from the ob-
stacles and reception), this system continu-
ously calculates the distance between the
bumper and the obstacle.
WARNING
The parking distance warning system can-
not replace the driv
er's assessment of the
situation.
●
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not registered.
