tional driving aid. However,

the function does not take

the place of the driver.

The cruise control function helps you to

maintain your driving speed at a speed

Therefore, it can under no circum-

stances replace the driver’s respon-

sibility to respect speed limits and to

be vigilant (the driver must always

be ready to brake). Cruise control

must not be used in heavy traffic, on

undulating or slippery roads (black

ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during

bad weather (fog, rain, side winds

etc.).

cruising speed saved) (O).

6 Activation with recall of saved cruis-

ing speed (R).
