-For reasons of safety, cruise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on twisting roads and when road condi­
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy rain and hydroplaning) -you could
have an accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones.
- Please note that unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
cruise control not to brake. This is due to
the control system being overridden by the
driver's acceleration.
- Never use the cruise control when driving
off-road or on unpaved roads. The cruise
control is intended for use only when the ve­
hicle is being operated on paved roads, and
is not suitable for use off-road or on un­
paved roads.
- If a brake system malfunction such as over­
heating occurs when the cruise control sys­
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off. The other
cruise control functions remain active as
long as the indicator light
0;(1)~14 (US mod­
el)/li,I (Canadian model) is on .
(Di Tips
The brake lights illuminate as soon as the
brakes apply automatically.
Changing speed

010 direction until the de­
sired speed is displayed.
You can also press the accelerator pedal down to
increase your speed, e.g. if you want to pass
someone. The speed you saved earlier will re­
sume as soon as you let off of the accelerator
pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by
S mph
(10 km/h) for longer than S minutes, the
Driving
cruise control will be turned off temporarily. The
green symbol in the display turns white, the
saved speed is retained.
Pre-selecting speed
You con pre-select your desired speed while the
vehicle is not moving.
.,. Turn on the ignition.
.,. Pull lever into position
(D ¢ page 92, fig. 107.
.,. Press the lever in the 0 or 0 direction to in-
crease or decrease your speed.
.,. Let go of the lever to save that speed .
This function makes it possible, for example, to

-Do not ride the brakes or press the brake
peda l too often or too long when driving
down a hill. Constant braking causes the
brakes to overheat and substantially re­
duces braking performance, increases brak­
ing distance or causes complete failure of
the b rake system.
- To prevent the vehicle from rolling back
when stopping on inclines, always ho ld it in
place wi th the brake pedal o r parking brake.
- Never hold the veh icle on an incl ine with a
slipping clutch. The clutch opens automati­
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload. An indicato r lamp
mJ illum inates
and a driver message appears ¢
page 98
when the clutch is overloaded.
- If the engine must remain running, neve r
have any driving pos ition engaged when
checking under the hood. Make sure these­
lector lever has secure ly engaged and is
locked in P with the parking brake set
¢ page 217. Otherw ise, any increase in en­
gine speed may set the vehicle in motion,
even with the parking brake applied.
(D Note
- When stopping on an incline, do not try to
ho ld the vehicle in place by press ing the ac­
ce lerator pedal while a driv ing gear is se­
l ected. T his can cause the t ransmission to
ove rheat and can damage it. Activate the
parking b rake or press the b rake peda l to
prevent the vehicle from ro lling.
- Al low ing the ve hicl e to ro ll when the eng ine

F or safety reasons, the parking b rake is re­
leased au tomatically only when the dr iver's
safety belt is engaged in the buckle.

Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down declines .
Hill descent control is activated when the selec­
tor lever is in D/S and you press the brake pedal.
T he transmission automat ically selects a gear
that is su itable for the incline . Hill descent con­
t ro l tries to maintain t he speed ach ieved at the
t ime of b raking, w ith in phys ica l and te chnical
l imita tions.
It may still be necessary to adjust the
speed with the brakes.
Hill descent cont rol switches off once the decline
levels out or you press the acce lerator pedal.
When the speed is set in the cru ise control sys­
tem ¢
page 92, hill descent control is also acti­
vated.
,&. WARNING
H ill descent cont rol cannot over come physical
limitat ions, so it may not be able to ma intain
a constant speed under all conditions. A lways
be ready to app ly the brakes.
