lever or on the multi-function steering wheel.

key ⇒fig. 134 once.
Setting speed
– Press the lower part SET of the rocker switch ⇒fig. 133 once
briefly when you have reached the speed you wish to set
⇒ fig. 134 . This speed is then stored and maintained.
Increasing the stored speed
– To reach the desired speed hold down the upper part of the rocker button ⇒ fig. 133 or button ⇒ fig. 134 .
Reducing the set speed
– To reach the desired speed hold down the lower part of the rocker button ⇒fig. 133

. The
speed falls as the vehicle is no longer accelerating, not due to
sharp braking.
If you increase speed by using the accelerator, the previously programmed
speed will be resumed when the accelerator pedal is released. This will not be
the case, however, if the vehicle speed is more than 10 km/h higher than the
stored speed for longer than 5 minutes. The speed will have to be stored
again.

244Colour coding of fuses
WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with higher rating
fuses. This could cause fires.
Note
•
If a newly inserted fuse blows after a short time, you must have the elec-
trical system checked by a qualified dealership as soon as possible.
•
If you replace a fuse with a stronger fuse, you could cause damage to
another location in the electrical system.
Fuse tableThe table shows the fuse locations for the most important consumers. The
right-hand columns contain the insert location, the figures in brackets indi-
cate the Ampère rating for the fuse. One single consumer could have more
than one fuse. Several consumers could run over one single fuse.
The fuse box has space for replacement fuses.
There are other fuses in the vehicle. These should be changed by a qualified
dealership.
