SPEED CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
Set/accelerate speed (1)
Set/decelerate speed (2)
Off (3)
Resume set speed (4)
The speed control allows you to drive in a more
relaxed manner, for example over long distances, as it
automatically maintains the set speed by actively
regulating the throttle setting.
The speed control lever on the steering column is used
to activate and operate the speed control.
NOTE: The responsibility for the driving speed is
always that of the driver. The cruise control is only an
aid for the driver.
NOTE:
A change of gear does not shut off the cruise
control.
Every speed traveled above 25 mph (40 km/h) can be
set.
Once the speed is set, it is maintained constant by the
speed control, the accelerator pedal can be released.
