If you accelerate to overtake, for example, the
stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal after overtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back to
the stored speed.
You operate cruise control using the cruise control
lever. You can store any speed above 20 km/h.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (

page 148).
System limits
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed
is resumed if the uphill gradient evens out and the
vehicle's speed does not fall below 20 km/h.
If you change wheel size on your vehicle, check it
is assigned to the correct wheel size category
(
/
page 241). If the category is changed without
recoding the control units in the vehicle, the func-
tioning of cruise control may be impaired.
Do not use cruise control in the following situa-
tions:
R
in traffic situations which require frequent
changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on
winding roads
R
off-road or on construction sites
R
on slippery or slick roads, as the drive wheels
can lose traction when accelerating and the
vehicle can then skid
R
if there is poor visibility
▌
Function of the limiter
The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To
adjust to the set speed quickly, the limiter applies
the brakes automatically.
You can operate the variable limiter with the cruise
control lever. You can store any speed above
20 km/h. You can also perform settings while the
vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been star-
ted.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility. You may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (

page 148).
If you change wheel size on your vehicle, check it
is assigned to the correct wheel size category
(
/
page 241). If the category is changed without
recoding the control units in the vehicle, the func-
tioning of the limiter may be impaired.
Kickdown
If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point (kickdown), the limiter switches to
passive mode.
The instrument cluster display shows the
Limiter
passive
message and you are able to exceed the
stored speed.
After completion of kickdown, the variable limiter
is activated again in the following situations:
R
If the driven speed drops below the stored
speed.
R
If the stored speed is called up.
R
If you store a new speed.
