Switching the System On
Press switch C. The system is set to
standby mode.
Setting a Speed
Note:
The system must be in standby
mode.
Press switch A or B to select your desired
cruise speed. The speed is displayed in the
information display and stored as the set
speed.
Changing the Set Speed
Note:
Vehicle speed may be increased and
decreased at intervals of 5 mph or 5 km/h
depending on your unit of measure setting.
Note:
If the system does not react to these
changes the reason may be that the gap
interval to the vehicle in front of you
prevents an increase in speed.
Press switch A to increase or switch B to
decrease the set speed until the desired
set speed is shown in the information
display. Your vehicle speed will gradually
change to the selected speed.
Setting the Vehicle Gap
Note:
Use the appropriate gap setting in
accordance with local traffic regulations.
Note:
The gap setting is time dependent
and therefore the distance will
automatically adjust with your speed. For
example on a gap setting of four bars, the
time gap is 1.8 seconds. This will mean that
at a speed of 62 mph (100 km/h), the
distance to the vehicle in front of you will
be maintained at 164 feet (50 meters).
Note:
If you depress the accelerator for a
short period of time, for example when
overtaking, the system will temporarily
switch off. It will switch back on when you
release the accelerator pedal. A message
will be shown in the display.
Note:
The gap setting will remain
unchanged each time you switch the ignition
on.
