If the car's lights are on, the headlights
are also cleaned at suitable intervals.
Windscreen washer jets
The windscreen washer jets are heated
automatically* in ignition key position 2.
Cruise control*
Above about 30 km/h (approx. 19 mph),
you can memorise and call up the car's
road speed.
You can use cruise control when the
engine is running and the system is
activated.
Activating the system
From ignition key position 2:
Press the button: the telltale light in the
instrument cluster comes on, see
page 20. You can then use cruise con-
trol.
Do not use cruise control on twist-
ing roads, in heavy traffic which
prevents a constant speed from being
maintained or if the road surface is slip-
pery (snow, rain, ice) or loose (stones,
sand).
<
Deactivating the system
Press the button repeatedly until the
telltale light in the instrument cluster
goes out.
Turning the ignition key to the 0 position
also deactivates cruise control.
The stored speed is cleared from mem-
ory.
Maintaining speed, memorising
speed, accelerating
Briefly press the "+" button:
The car's actual speed is maintained
and memorised. Each time the button is
pressed briefly again, road speed is
increased by approx. 1 km/h (0.6 mph).
Hold down the "+" button:
The car accelerates without the accel-
erator pedal being touched. As soon as
you release the button, the speed the
car has reached will be maintained and
memorised.
If engine braking alone is insuffi-
cient on a downhill gradient, the
controlled speed may be exceeded. It
may also prove impossible to maintain
with the available engine power on
uphill gradients.
