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

vated:

Maintaining current speed
>
When the vehicle travels faster or slower
than the set speed for an extended period,
e.g. when the accelerator is depressed
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.

>
When you activate DTC or deactivate DSC
When DSC is intervening
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.
