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:

Driving downhill

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