Driving and operation140
Cruise control 3
Cruise control can store and maintain
speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph).
Deviation from the stored speed may occur
when driving uphill or downhill.
For safety reasons, cruise control cannot
be activated until the foot brake has been
depressed once.
Cruise control is operated with buttons
d, c and e on the turn signal lever. Do not use cruise control if it is not
advisable to maintain a constant speed
(e.g. in situations presenting a danger to
yourself and other road users, in heavy
traffic or on winding, slippery or greasy
roads).
With automatic transmission, only use
cruise control while in
D.
When cruise control is active, reaction
times may be increased, due to the
different position of the feet.
Control indicator for cruise control
When driving, control indicator m will
illuminate when the syst em is switched on
and the desired vehicle speed is stored.
Illuminated in yellow;
cruise control is ready for operation by
pressing the
ebutton.
Illuminated in green;
cruise control speed is set by pressing the
d button.
