Cruise control system  
Introduction  
The cruise control system helps to  
maintain a set speed.  
Speed range  
The CCS is available at speeds above 15 mph (20 km/h).  
Driving with cruise control system  
You can override the stored speed at any time, for example, to pass another vehicle. Cruise control is paused while the vehicle accelerates and then resumes the  
stored speed.  
Displays  
If the CCS is switched on, the instrument cluster display indicates the stored speed and the status of the CCS:  
CCS active.  
CCS active (alternative display).  
Small or gray: CCS is not regulating the speed.  
Large or white: CCS is regulating the speed.  
If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows  
instead of the speed.  
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 CCS may cause accidents and serious injuries.  
Never use the CCS 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 CCS when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.  
Always adapt your speed and remain a safe distance to vehicles driving ahead according to the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions.  
To reduce the risk of activating the CCS unintentionally, always turn off the cruise control system after using it.  
It is dangerous to resume the stored speed if that speed is too fast for the current road, traffic, or weather conditions.
