tion test.

onds after switching on the ignition.

Cruise Control System
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating
148
Storing and maintaining speed
148
Changing the stored speed
148
Switching off temporarily
148
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed, more than 25 km/h, with-
out you having to actuate the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and
braking power of the engine.
The warning light 
illuminates in the instrument cluster when the cruise control
system is switched on.
WARNING■ For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads,
loose gravel) – risk of accident!■
The saved speed may only be resumed if it is not too high for the current
traffic conditions.
■
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the system
being switched on unintentionally.
CAUTION
■ The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving
in areas with steeper gradients. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which it travels. In such cases, a lower gear should be engaged or the footbrake
applied.■
It is not possible to switch on the cruise control system if the first gear or re-
verse gear is engaged (Vehicles fitted with a manual transmission) 
147Assist systems

■The cruise control system cannot be activated when the selector lever is in po-
sitions P, N or R (vehicles with automatic transmission).■
The cruise control system may automatically switch off when some brake assist
systems (e.g. ESC) intervene, when the maximum permissible engine speed is ex- ceeded, etc.

on page 147.
Increasing the speed with the rocker button
B›
Push the rocker button
B
into the RES/+ » Fig. 124 on page 148 position.
If the rocker button is held in the RES/+ position, the speed will increase continu-
ously. Release the rocker button once the desired speed is reached. The set
speed is then stored in the memory.
Decreasing the speed with the rocker button
B
The stored speed can be reduced by pushing the rocker switch
B
into the
SET/- » Fig. 124 on page 148 position.
If the rocker button is pressed and held in the SET/- position, the speed will de-
crease continuously. Release the rocker button once the desired speed is
reached. The set speed is then stored in the memory.
If the rocker button is released at a speed of less than approx. 25 km/h, the speedis not stored and the memory is erased. Once the speed of the vehicle has in-
creased to more than approx. 25 km/h, the speed must then be stored again by
pushing the rocker button
B
into the SET/- position.
Increasing the speed with the accelerator
›
Depress the accelerator pedal.
Releasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.
Decreasing the speed with the brake pedal
The speed can also be reduced by depressing the brake pedal, which temporarily
deactivates the system » page 148.
