Any modific ation
s made to the vehicle (for
example, to the engine, brake system, run-
ning gear or to the combination of wheels
and tyres) may affect the operation of the
ABS and ASR. Connecting/disconnecting ESC and
ASR
The ESC is switched on automatically when
the engine is
s
tarted, and only works when
the engine is running and includes the ABS,
EDS and ASR systems.
The ASR and ESC function should only be
switched off in situations in which traction is
insufficient, among others:
● When driving in deep snow or on surfaces
that ar e not
very firm.
● To “free” the vehicle if it gets stuck.
Then switch the ASR and E
SC function back
on.
Depending on finishes and versions, it is
possible either to disconnect only the ASR or
else activate ESC Sport mode.

Sport mode can be connected via the Easy
Connect ››› page 101 system menu. The abili-
ty of the ESC to stabilise the vehicle is limi- ted; the traction control system (ASR) be-
comes di

trol (ESC)*.
EDL helps the vehicle to start moving, accel-
erate and climb a gradient in slippery condi-
tions where this may otherwise be difficult or
even impossible.
It uses the ABS sensors to monitor the speed
of the driven wheels. »

Parking manoeuvre
● Place the vehicle in front of the parking
space and en
gage reverse gear (manual
gearbox) or move the selector to the R posi-
tion (automatic gearbox).
● Reverse slowly, and turn the steering wheel

● Guide the vehicle into the parking space so
that the side orient
ation lines run parallel to
it. 1 2

The CCS is able to maintain the set speed in
the range from approx. 30 km/h (19 mph) to
180 km/h (112 mph).
Once the speed setting has been saved, you
may take your foot off the accelerator.
When the cruise control is on and a speed is
programmed, the indicator on the instru-
ment panel* is lit.
If the cruise control system is switched off,
the symbol is switched off. The system will also be switched off fully when the
1st ge
ar
is engaged.*
Switching on the cruise control system
● Move the switch ››› Fig. 182
1 towards the
l ef
t t
o ON .
Setting speed
● Briefly press the lower part of the rocker
switch
SET– ››› Fig. 182 2 once when you
h av
e r e
ached the speed you wish to set.
When you release the rocker switch, the cur-
rent speed is set and held constant.
Switching off the cruise control system
● Move the control 1 towards the right to
OFF or turn the ignition off
if the
vehicle is
stationary. WARNING
It could be dangerous to use the cruise con-
trol sy
stem if it is not possible to drive at con-
stant speed.
● Do not use the cruise control system when
driving in dense tr
affic, on roads with lots of
bends or on roads with poor conditions (with
ice, slippery surfaces, loose grit or gravel), as
this could cause an accident.
● Always switch the cruise control system off
after us
ing it in order to avoid involuntary
use. » 183

Operation
●
It is d
angerous to use a set speed which is
too high for the current road, traffic or weath-
er conditions. Risk of accident. Note
The cruise control cannot maintain a constant
s peed when des c
ending downhill. It will in-
crease due to its own weight. Use the foot
brake to slow the vehicle. Adjusting the stored speed*
The speed can be altered without touching
the ac
c
el er
ator or the brake.
Setting a higher speed
● Press the upper part of the rocker switch
RES+ ››› Fig. 182
2 to increase the speed.
The v
ehic l
e will continue to accelerate as
long as you keep the rocker switch pressed.
When you release the switch, the new speed
is stored.
Setting a lower speed
● Press the lower part of the rocker switch
SET– ››› Fig. 182
2 to reduce the speed. The
v ehic
le w
ill automatically reduce its speed for
as long as you keep the switch pressed.
When you release the switch, the new speed
is stored. When you increase speed with the accelera-
tor and then rele
ase the pedal, the system
will automatically restore the set speed. This
will not be the case, however, if the vehicle
speed exceeds the stored speed by more
than 10 km/h (6 mph) for longer than 5 mi-
nutes. The speed will have to be stored
again.
Cruise control is switched off if you reduce
speed by depressing the brake pedal. Reacti-
vate the control by pressing once on the up-
per part of the rocker switch RES+ ››› Fig. 182
2 .
Temporary deactivation of cruise con-
tr o
l* The cruise control system will be switched off
in the f
o
llo
wing situations:
● if the brake pedal is depressed,
● if the clutch pedal is depressed,
● if the vehicle is accelerated to over
180 km/h (112 mph),
● when the lever 1 is moved in the direction
of
OFF w
ithout bein
g fully engaged.
To resume cruise control, release the brake or
clutch pedal or reduce the vehicle speed to
less than 180 km/h (112 mph) and press
once on the upper part of the rocker switch RES+ ››› Fig. 182 2 .Complete system deactivation Vehicles with a manual gearbox
The syst
em
is completely turned off by mov-
ing the control ››› Fig. 182 1 all the way to
the right hand s ide (set
into the OFF posi-
tion), or when the vehicle is stationary,
switching off the ignition.
Vehicles with an automatic gearbox
To completely disengage the system, the se-
lector lever must be placed in one of the fol-
lowing positions: P, N, R or 1 or with the vehi-
cle stopped and the ignition turned off.
