DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.294
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or (2) buttons briefly or by pressing andholding them:
Brief press: Each press changes thespeed in +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph) incre-ments.
Press and hold: Release the button whenthe set speed indicator (3) has moved tothe desired speed.
NOTE
For vehicles without Adaptive Cruise Control*,speed instead increases by +/- 1km/h(+/- 1 mph) each time the button is pressed.
The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal while pressing the (1) button onthe steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when thebutton is pressed will be stored as the set speed.
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Automatic transmission
The driver support functions can follow anothervehicle at speeds from a standstill up to200 km/h (125 mph).
Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance fromnear-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h(87 mph).
The lowest speed that can be set is 30 km/h(20 mph). When following another vehicle, ACCcan monitor that vehicle's speed and slow yourown vehicle down to a standstill, but it is not pos-sible to set speeds lower than 30 km/h(20 mph).

STARTING AND DRIVING
394
CAUTION
When starting in cold weather, the auto-matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. This could prevent fluidsfrom properly lubricating vital compo-nents in the engine before it has reachedthe proper operating temperature.
The engine should be idling when thegear selector is moved. Never accelerateuntil the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-ing rapidly before a gear is properlyengaged could lead to harder wear ofcomponents.
To help prevent the transmission oil fromoverheating, select P or N when idling ata standstill for prolonged periods of time.
