Cruise Control
Cruise control can be used to maintain a selected vehicle speed,
above 19 mph, without having to use the accelerator.
[1] RES : Resume the set speed
retained in memory.
[2] SET: Set the speed,
accelerate or decelerate.
[3] ON/OFF: Sets cruise control
to ON or OFF.
[4] CAN: Cancels cruise control
but keeps the set speed in
memory.
Operation
Warning: Only use cruise control when conditions are
favourable, for example, straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic.
Use the ON/OFF switch (3) to set cruise control ON and OFF. When
cruise control is ON ‘CRUISE’ will show in the message centre.
When travelling at the desired speed, which must be above 19 mph,
press SET (+ or –) (2). Cruise control will engage and maintain that
speed without the need to use the accelerator pedal.
Under certain conditions cruise control will automatically set to
OFF (Refer to ’Cruise Control Automatic OFF’, page 4.17).
Cruise control will automatically disengage when the brake pedal
is pressed or when the vehicle speed falls below 19 mph.
Changing the Set Speed
There are three ways to change the set speed:
• Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed then press SET (+
or –).
• Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed by pressing and
holding SET (+ or –) until the desired speed is obtained, then
release.
• Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed in steps of 1.2 mph
by briefly pressing and releasing SET (+ or –) until the desired
speed is obtained.

Controls
Resuming the Set Speed
RES should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed
and intends to return to it.
It is not recommended to resume set speed when a low gear
is selected as excessive engine speeds will occur.
Cruise control will not resume at speeds below 19 mph. RES will
not operate if the ignition has been set to OFF.
If the vehicle is accelerated above the set speed, then the set speed
will be resumed when the accelerator pedal is released.
If CAN (4) is pressed, or the brake pedal is pressed, cruise control will
disengage but the set speed memory will be kept. Press RES (1) and
the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Cruise Control Automatic OFF
Cruise control will automatically set to OFF and clear the memory
when:
• The ignition is set to OFF.
• A fault occurs. The cruise control system will set to OFF and
cannot be used until the fault is cleared.
• The park brake is applied.
• Maximum vehicle speed is reached.
Cruise control will automatically set to OFF but the set speed will stay
in the memory when:
• The CAN button is pressed.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• Vehicle speed falls below 19 mph.
• Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.
• The difference between the actual and set speed is too great.
• When the set speed is above 90 miles; cruise control will
disengage automatically after approximately 20 minutes.
• The accelerator pedal is used to accelerate beyond the set speed
for too long a period.
Ambient Temperature
The ambient temperature (outside temperature) is shown in the top
right corner of the Infotainment centre display.
If the vehicle has been travelling and then is stopped in a shaded
or enclosed area the ambient temperature may rise, this is due to the
heat from the engine bay. The ambient temperature display will show
the true ambient temperature once the vehicle is moving again or the
engine bay cools down.
If required the display units can be changed from °C to °F or °F
to °C (Refer to ’Climate Controls’, page 6.2).
