Maintaining current speed
Briefly press lever, arrow 1 , or briefly pull,
arrow 2 , at a driving speed of more than approx.
20 mph or 30 km/h.
The speed currently being driven is stored and
maintained. It is indicated on the speedometer
and briefly in the instrument cluster.
The controlled speed can drop on uphill grades
if the engine output is insufficient. If the
engine's braking action is not sufficient on a
downhill grade, the system lightly brakes the
vehicle.
Setting desired speed
Adjust your desired speed to the traffic
conditions and remain ready to brake at
all times; otherwise, there is a danger of acci-
dents. The system is unable to compensate for
great differences between your speed and that
of the vehicle ahead, e.g. when quickly
approaching a truck or when another vehicle
swerves into your lane.

> Each time the lever is pulled beyond the
resistance point, the desired speed is
decreased by a maximum of 5 mph or
