Driver Assistance Systems
Cruise Control - CC
The electronic Cruise Control (CC)
enables the driver to maintain the
desired vehicle speed without pressing
the accelerator pedal, reducing driving
fatigue on highways, especially long
trips, as the set speed is automatically
maintained. A firm press on the
accelerator pedal or the braking pedal
will temporarily deactivate the cruise
control function.
CAUTION!
The device can only be switched on at
speeds exceeding 30 km/h (18 mph)
and it switches off automatically when
the brake pedal or the accelerator
pedal is pressed.
WARNING!
The Cruise Control function must only
be activated when traffic and the
route permit a constant speed to be
maintained safely for a sufficiently
long distance.
Controls
The Cruise Control controls are located
on the left side of the steering wheel.
Control configuration depends on
which driver assist systems are installed
to the vehicle.
In the standard configuration there is
a specific button to enable and disable
the CC.
