Cruise control
*
You can store and automatically main-
tain any desired vehicle speed above
approx. 25 mph (40 km/h).
The system is switched off and the
stored speed deleted from its memory
when you turn the ignition key to posi-
tion 0.
To store and maintain speed/
to accelerate
Press the lever briefly in direction 1:
The system records and maintains the
current vehicle speed. Every time you
briefly press the lever, the speed in-
creases by approx. 0.6 mph (1 km/h).

Hold the lever in position 1:
The vehicle accelerates without pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal. When
you release the lever, the system mem-
orizes and maintains the current speed.
If, on a downhill gradient, the
engine braking effect is not suffi-
cient, the controlled speed can be
exceeded. Speed can drop on uphill
grades if the engine output is insuffi-
cient.

To decelerate
Press the lever briefly in direction 2:
If you are already driving with active
cruise control, the speed is decreased
by approx. 0.6 mph (1 km/h) every time
you briefly touch the lever.
Hold the lever in position 2:
With the cruise control active, the sys-
tem automatically reduces the throttle
opening to slow the vehicle. When you
release the lever, the system memo-
rizes and maintains the current speed.
Activate stored setting (resume)
Press the lever briefly in direction 3:
The vehicle accelerates to and main-
tains the last speed stored.
To cancel
Press the lever briefly in direction 4:
The cruise control is deactivated imme-
diately.
In addition, the system is also automati-
cally deactivated in response to the fol-
lowing conditions:
>
When you apply the brakes
>
When you depress the clutch or move
the automatic transmission selector
lever from "D" to "N"
>
If you exceed or fall below the pro-
grammed speed for an extended pe-
riod (by depressing the accelerator,
for example).
Do not use cruise control on twist-
ing roads, when high traffic den-
sity prevents driving at a constant
speed, when the road surface is slick
(snow, rain, ice), or when the road sur-
face is loose (rocks or gravel, sand).
