from WHITE to GREEN, the cruise
control is active and the car main-
tains the stored speed.
Only when the symbol shows
an image of another vehicle

in front controlled by the
cruise control.
At the same time a speed
range is marked:
• the higher speed with
GREEN marking is the pre-
programmed speed
• the lower speed is the
speed of the car in front.
