Use of cruise control is recommended for
driving at a constant speed for extended
periods of time. You can set any speed
over 20 mph (30 km/h).
Parktronic*, which serves as a parking
assistant.
The BAS, ABS and ESP driving systems are
described in the “Safety and Security” sec-

Only use cruise control if the road, traffic
and weather conditions make it advisable to
travel at a steady speed.
The cruise control function is operated by

The use of cruise control can be danger-
ous on winding roads or in heavy traffic
because conditions do not allow safe
driving at a steady speed.
The use of cruise control can be danger-
ous on slippery roads. Rapid changes in
tire traction can result in wheel spin and
loss of control.
Deactivate cruise control when driving
in fog.
The “Resume” function should only be oper-
ated if the driver is fully aware of the previ-
ously set speed and wishes to resume this
particular preset speed.
