Cruise control
The cruise control (CC
74
) helps the driver main-
tain an even speed, which can result in more
relaxed driving on motorways and long, straight
roads in regular traffic flows.
Use engine braking instead of the foot brake
With Cruise Control, speed is regulated with
less frequent application of the foot brake. On a
hill, it may sometimes be desirable to start mov-
ing a little faster and limit the acceleration only
by engine braking. In this case the driver can
temporarily disable foot brake application by
Cruise Control.
To do so, proceed as follows:
– Depress the accelerator pedal about halfway
down and release.
> Cruise Control will disengage its automatic
foot braking and then uses engine braking
only.

WARNING
• The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Manual that relate to this
function to learn about factors such as
its limitations and what the driver
should be aware of before using the
system.
• Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
