Cruise control*
Increasing speed
Repeatedly press the lever, arrow 1, until the
desired speed is reached.
The concept
Each time the lever is pressed lightly, the speed
is increased by approx. 1 mph/1 km/h.
You can use the cruise control feature begin-
ning at approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. The car then
stores and maintains the speed that you specify
using the lever on the steering column.
Accelerating using the lever
Press the lever, arrow 1, until the desired speed
is reached.
The vehicle accelerates without pressure on
the accelerator pedal. The system stores and
maintains the speed.
Do not use cruise control when driving at
constant speed is prevented by adverse
conditions, e.g. winding roads, dense traffic or
poor road conditions due to, e.g. snow, rain, ice
or loose surfaces. Otherwise you could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident as a
result.<
Decreasing speed
Repeatedly pull the lever, arrow 2, until the
desired speed is reached.
One lever for all functions
The functions are the same as when the set
speed is increased or the vehicle is accelerated,
except that in this case the speed decreases.
Deactivating cruise control
Tap the lever upwards or downwards, arrow 3.
In addition, the system is automatically deacti-
vated:

Resuming a speed stored beforehand
Maintaining current speed

When you activate DTC or deactivate DSC
When DSC is intervening
Tap the lever, arrow 1, or pull it briefly, arrow 2.
The car's current speed is stored and main-
tained. It is briefly displayed in the instrument
cluster.
Resuming a speed stored beforehand
Press the button, arrow 4.
The last stored speed is resumed and main-
tained.
If the engine braking power is insufficient on a
downhill slope, the set speed may be exceeded.
On uphill gradients, it may prove impossible to
maintain the set speed if engine power output is
insufficient.
The stored speed is briefly displayed in the
instrument cluster.
The stored speed is cleared when the ignition is
switched off.
