164Driving and operatingDriver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of 30 km/h and
above. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill. The stored speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre
3  106.
For safety reasons the cruise control
cannot be activated until the brake
pedal has been operated once.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
With manual transmission
automated, only activate cruise
control in automatic mode.
Control indicators  m and  U 3  105.
Switching on the system
Press  m, control indicator  U
illuminates green in the instrument
cluster.
Cruise control is now in standby mode
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
press  < or  ]. The current speed is
now stored and maintained and the
accelerator pedal can be released.

Driving and operating165
Control indicator m illuminates green
in the instrument cluster together with
U  and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
The stored speed flashes in the
instrument cluster. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the
previously stored speed is resumed.
Cruise control remains activated
while gearshifting.
The speed is saved until the ignition
is switched off.
Increase speed
With cruise control active, the vehicle speed can be increased continuously
or in small increments by holding
down or tapping  < repeatedly.
When the switch is released the
current speed is stored and
maintained.
Alternatively, accelerate to the
desired speed and store by pressing
< .
Reduce speed
With cruise control active, the vehicle speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping  ]
repeatedly.
When the switch is released the
current speed is stored and
maintained.Deactivation of the functionality
Press  $: cruise control is deactivated
and the green control indicator  m
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Automatic deactivation: ● vehicle speed drops below 30 km/h
● the brake pedal is depressed
● the clutch pedal is depressed
● selector lever in  N
The speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.

166Driving and operatingActivation of the functionality
Press  R at a speed above 30 km/h.
If the stored speed is much higher
than the current speed, the vehicle
will accelerate powerfully until the
stored speed is obtained.
Pressing  < will also reactivate the
cruise control function, but at the
current vehicle speed only, not the
stored speed.
Switching off the system
Press  m, green control indicators  U
and  m extinguish in the instrument
cluster.
Speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum
speed above 30 km/h.Switching on the system
Press  U, control indicator  U
illuminates yellow in the instrument
cluster.
Speed limiter function is now in
standby mode and a corresponding
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
press  < or  ]. The current speed is
recorded.
The vehicle can be driven normally
but it will not be possible to exceed the programmed speed limit except in an
emergency.
Where the limit speed cannot be
maintained, e.g. when driving on a
steep decline, the limit speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre.
Increase limit speed
The limit speed can be increased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping  <
repeatedly.
Reduce limit speed
The limit speed can be decreased continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping  ]
repeatedly.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency it is
possible to exceed the limit speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limit speed will flash in the Driver
Information Centre during this period.
Release the accelerator pedal andthe speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.
