Setting the speed tolerance
The speed tolerance helps to better utilise
momentum from downhill gradients and thus
save fuel.
The speed tolerance can be set to between 2
and 15 km/h.
If you set the speed tolerance to between 4
and 15 km/h, it is available again after you
restart the engine.
The on-board computer shows the upper
speed tolerance next to the set speed. When
cruise control is activated, the speed limiter
brakes the vehicle by 4 km/h by applying the
continuous brake, regardless of the set speed
tolerance.

Driving
Driving tips
It is possible to exceed the set speed with the
accelerator pedal, e.g. when overtaking.
You can decelerate using the continuous
brake. Cruise control remains activated.
If you reset the continuous brake lever, but do
not deactivate it, the vehicle will accelerate on
inclines up to the set speed.
If the continuous brake is deactivated, the
vehicle will accelerate to the last stored
speed.
If cruise control is decelerating the vehicle
using the continuous brake and you simultane-
ously depress the brake pedal, cruise control
remains activated.
If the braking power from the continuous
brake is insufficient:
X Shift down a gear and reduce your speed.
If you shift down on a downhill gradient
without adjusting the speed, cruise control
sets an engine speed lower than the engine
overspeed. The set speed remains set and is
