Cruise control may be unable to maintain

the stored speed on uphill gradients. The

stored speed is resumed when the gradient

evens out. Cruise control maintains the

stored speed on downhill gradients by

automatically applying the brakes.
Vehicles with manual transmission:

always drive at adequate, but not exces-

sive, engine speeds.

change gear in good time.

if possible, do not change down several

gears at a time.

Storing the current speed or calling up

the last stored speed

Risk of accident

that speed is and whether it is suitable for the

current situation. Otherwise, sudden acceler-

ation or braking could endanger you or others.

Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards

you

Remove your foot from the accelerator

pedal.

The first time cruise control is activated, it

stores the current speed or regulates the

speed of the vehicle to the previously

stored speed.

Press the cruise control lever to the pres-

sure point, up

for a higher speed or

down

for a lower speed.

Keep the cruise control lever pressed until

the desired speed is reached.

Release the cruise control lever.

The new speed is stored.

Cruise control is not deactivated if you

depress the accelerator pedal. For exam-

ple, if you accelerate briefly to overtake,

cruise control adjusts the vehicle's speed

to the last speed stored after you have fin-

ished overtaking.

increments

Briefly press the cruise control lever to the

pressure point, up
