Cruise control system  
Description  
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system  
An additional indicator will appear in the head-up  
display*.  
The cruise control system assists you in main-  
taining a constant speed above approximately  
15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains the de-  
sired speed by braking and accelerating.  
WARNING  
Observe the safety precautions and note the  
limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and  
cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.  
WARNING  
Observe the safety precautions and note the  
limitations of the assist systems, sensors,  
and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.  
The cruise control system is only an assist  
system, and the driver is still responsible for  
operating the vehicle. The driver is especial-  
ly responsible for braking, controlling the  
speed, and maintaining the distance to oth-  
er vehicles.  
Turning on the system  
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system  
Turn off the cruise control temporarily when  
driving in turning lanes, highway exits, or in  
construction zones. This prevents the vehi-  
cle from accelerating to the stored speed  
when in these situations.

Requirement: the ignition must be turned on.  
Note  
To turn on the system, pull the lever toward  
you to position 2 .  
Conventional drive system:Before driving  
downhill a long distance on a steep hill, de-  
crease your speed and select a lower gear.  
This makes use of the engine braking effect  
and reduces the load placed on the brakes.  
Plug-in hybrid drive: Before driving downhill  
a long distance on a steep hill, decrease  
your speed and use the recuperation braking  
effect ðpage 104. This reduces the load on  
the brakes.  
WARNING  
Observe the safety precautions and note the  
limitations of the assist systems, sensors,  
and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.  
If the brakes are malfunctioning (for exam-  
ple, overheating) while the cruise control  
system is turned on, the regulating func-  
tions may shut off automatically.
