so that you can understand the system's range
of applications and use the system appropri-
ately.
Braking sensation
The system's automatic brake operation results
in a braking sensation that is slightly different
from what you feel when you brake the vehicle
yourself in a similar situation. Possible noises
during automatic deceleration are normal.
Manual gearbox
You can shift gears while cruise control is acti-
vated. An indicator light notifies you that you
should shift gears when you drive for an
extended period at very high or very low engine
speeds, or the system is deactivated.
Range of applications
The ideal road-speed range for using the sys-
tem on well-developed motorways and second-
ary roads is about 80-140 km/h (50-85 mph).
However, all local speed limit regulations must
be observed.
The desired speed must be at least 30 km/h
(20 mph), but no more than 180 km/h
(110 mph).
Active Cruise Control does not release
you from your personal responsibility to
drive safely.
Consider road-surface, weather and visibility
conditions to decide whether and how the sys-
tem should be used.
Use the system only when traffic is flowing
smoothly and not on unfortified roads or roads
with sharp bends nor when there is road ice,
fog, snow or heavy rain.
Check your driving speed as well as your dis-
tance from vehicles in front of you, and be pre-
pared to brake at any time. Otherwise, driving
conditions could result which violate the law or
pose a risk of accident.

Maintaining current speed
Tap the lever, arrow 1 , or pull briefly, arrow 2 .
The speed at which the car is being driven is
memorised and maintained; it is displayed in
the speedometer as well as temporarily in the
instrument cluster.
On uphill gradients, it may prove impossible to
maintain the set speed if current engine power
output is insufficient. On downhill gradients, the
system will brake the car slightly if engine brak-
ing alone is insufficient.
Adjusting desired speed
Adapt the desired speed to traffic condi-
tions and be prepared to brake at any
time. Otherwise, an accident could result. Sig-
nificant speed differences to vehicles ahead,
e.g. when you are quickly approaching a slower-
