Cruise control system

Introduction

The cruise control system helps to

maintain a set speed.

Speed range

The cruise control system is available at speeds above approximately 20 km/h (approximately 15 mph) when driving forward.

Driving with the Cruise Control System

You can override the stored speed at any time, for example, to pass another vehicle. The regulation function is paused while

the vehicle accelerates and then resumes the stored speed.

Displays

If the cruise control system is switched on, the instrument cluster display indicates the saved speed and the status of the

cruise control system.

One of the following indicator lights will light up, depending on the driving situation:

Cruise control system is switched on, speed regulation active.

Cruise control system is switched on, speed regulation

inactive.

If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows

instead of the speed.

Changing gear

Pressing the clutch pedal pauses the regulation function. It resumes automatically after changing gear.

Driving downhill

The vehicle cannot maintain the saved speed in all driving situations. Always be ready to apply the brakes.

1. Downshift before traveling downhill for extended periods.

This will enable you to utilize the engine braking effect and reduce the load on the brakes.

WARNING

If it is not possible to drive safely with enough distance and a constant speed, using the cruise control system may cause

accidents and serious injuries or even death.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc

conditions. The driver is always responsible for the speed of the vehicle.

Never use the cruise control system when visibility is poor, when there is not enough distance, or when roads are

steep, winding, ﬂooded, or slippery, for example from snow, ice, moisture, or gravel.

Never use the cruise control system when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.
