Cruise control and Distronic*, with

The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during vehicle
operation. The driver is and must always
remain responsible for the vehicle speed
and for safe brake operation.
Use of cruise control is recommended for
driving at a constant speed for extended
periods of time. You can set or resume
cruise control at any speed above 20 mph
Airmatic DC adjusts the vehicle sus-
pension characteristics automatically
and controls the vehicle level
(30
km/h).
Only use the cruise control if the road,
traffic, and weather conditions make it ad-
visable to travel at a steady speed.
Parktronic system*, which assists the
driver during parking maneuvers
The cruise control function is operated by
means of the cruise control lever.

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 BAS, ABS, ESP and SBC are described
in the “Safety and Security” section
The cruise control lever is the uppermost
lever on the left-hand side of the steering
column (୴ page 22).
(୴ page 79).
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 the cruise control when driv-
ing 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.
