Driver's area controls
Steering column switch for retarder and cruise control (overview)
Note:
The speed is maintained constant only
for as long as the braking performance of
the retarder remains sufficient for this to
be possible. If necessary, shift down and
reduce speed.
Note:
On buses with distance cruise control
(ART) (option), this function is automatic-
ally activated when combined drive/brake
cruise control is activated.
1.1 Tap briefly
(< 0.5 seconds) = cur-
rent speed is set and shown
on the display screen.
Note:
Tap briefly again
(< 0.5 seconds) = set speed
is increased by 1/3 mph
(0.5 km/h).
Note:
Press and hold (>
0.5 seconds) = bus speed
increased until switch
released. When the steering
column switch is released, the
current speed is set as the
new value.
Note:
When the distance cruise con-
trol is active (option), pressing
the switch for longer will in-
crease the target speed by in-
crements of 3 mph (5 km/h).
When the combination switch
is released, the selected spe-
cified speed is set as the new
value.
1.2 Tap briefly
(< 0.5 seconds) = cur-
rent speed is set and shown
on the display screen, or
resumption of last stored
speed.
Note:
Tap briefly again
(< 0.5 seconds) = set speed
is reduced by 1/3 mph
(0.5 km/h).
Note:
Press and hold

reduced until switch released.
When the steering column
switch is released, the current
speed is set as the new
value.
Note:
When the distance cruise con-
trol is active (option), pressing
the switch for longer will de-
crease the target speed by in-
crements of 3 mph (5 km/h).
When the combination switch
is released, the selected spe-
cified speed is set as the new
value.
