Cruise control system (CCS)*
Introduction
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than
30 km/h, once it has been set, without you having to depress the acceler-
ator pedal. This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the
power output and braking power of the engine. The cruise control system
makes it possible - particularly on long journeys - for you to rest your
“accelerator foot”.
WARNING
•The cruise control system must not, for safety reasons, be used
in dense traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy
roads, slippery roads or loose chippings) - risk of accident!
•In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control
system, always switch off the system after use.
Note
•Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Always depress the clutch pedal
if you switch on the cruise control system when the gearbox is in Neutral.
Otherwise the engine can rev up unintentionally.
•The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed
when driving on steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle
increases the speed at which it travels. One should shift down in good time
to a lower gear or slow the vehicle down by applying the foot brake.
•It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch
on the cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or
R .
Storing a speed
The cruise control system is operated by means of the slide
switch and rocker button in the left lever of the multi-func-
tional switch.
– Press the switch ⇒fig. 104 into the position ON.
– After the desired speed has been reached, press the rocker button into the SET position - the current speed is stored.
After you have released the rocker button out of the position SET, the
speed you have just stored is maintained at a constant speed without
having to depress the accelerator.
Yo u c a n increase the speed by depressing the accelerator. Releasing the
accelerator will cause the speed to drop again to the set speed.
This does not apply, however, if you drive at a speed which is more than
10 km/h higher than the set speed for a period of longer than 5 minutes.

The stored speed will be cancelled in the memory. You then have to re-
store the desired speed.
One can
reduce the speed in the usual manner. The system is switched
off temporarily by actuating the brake or clutch pedal ⇒page 117.
WARNING
First ensure that it is not too high for the traffic conditions which
exist at that moment before resuming the stored speed.
Changing a stored speed
You can also change the speed of the vehicle without
depressing the accelerator.
Faster
– You can increase the stored speed without depressing the
accelerator, by pressing the rocker button ⇒page 116,
fig. 104 into the RES position.
– The speed of the car will increase continuously if you hold the rocker button pressed in the RES position. Once the car has
reached the desired speed, release the rocker button. The set
speed is then stored in the memory.
Slower
– You can reduce the stored speed by pressing the rocker
button in the SET position. – Holding down the rocker button pressed in the
SET position
will cause the speed of the vehicle to reduce continuously.
Once the car has reached the desired speed, release the
rocker button. The set speed is then stored in the memory.
– If you release the rocker button when the car is travelling at a speed of less than 30 km/h, the speed is not stored, the
memory is erased. It is then necessary to again store the
speed with the rocker button in the position SET after an
increase in speed of the vehicle to more than 30 km/hour.
Switching off the cruise co ntrol system temporarily
– You can switch off temporarily the cruise control system, if
you depress the brake or clutch pedal.
– You can switch off temporarily t he cruise control system, if you
press the switch in the middle position.
The set speed remains stored in the memory.
Press the rocker button in the position RES for the resumption of the
stored speed after releasing the clutch or brake pedal.
WARNING
First ensure that it is not too high for the traffic conditions which
exist at that moment before resuming the stored speed.

Caution
•Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a
fuse of a higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at
another part of the electrical system.
•Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a
specialist garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
Note
We recommend that you have these fuses replaced by a specialist
garage.
