Cruise Control
Any given speed above approximately
40 km/h/25 mph can be maintained
with the cruise control by operating
the switch.
1 Setting (briefly push switch)
Accelerating (hold switch)
2 Setting (briefly push switch)
Decelerating (hold switch)
Normally the vehicle is accelerated to
the desired speed with the accelera­
tor. Speed is set by briefly pushing
the switch to position 1 or 2. The
accelerator can then be released. The
speed can be increased (e.g. for
passing) by using the accelerator. As
soon as the accelerator is released,
the previously set speed will be
resumed automatically.
If a set speed is to be increased or
decreased slightly, e.g. to adapt to
the traffic flow, hold switch in posi­
tion 1 or 2 until the desired speed is
reached. When the switch is released,
the newly set speed remains.
3 Cancelling
To cancel the cruise control,
briefly push lever to position 3.
When you step on the brake pedal
or the vehicle speed falls below
approx. 40 km/h / 25 mph, for
example when driving upgrade,
the cruise control will be can­
celled.
4 Resume
If the lever is briefly pushed to
position 4 when driving at a speed
exceeding approximately
40 km /h/25 mph, the vehicle
resumes the speed which was set
prior to the cancellation of the
cruise control. The last memo­
rized speed is cancelled when the
key in the steering lock is turned
to position "1 ” or “ 0 ” .
Note:
If the engine does not brake the vehi­
cle sufficiently while driving on a
downgrade, the speed you set on the
cruise control may be exceeded and
you may have to step on the brake
pedal to slow down. As soon as the
grade eases, the cruise controlled
speed will again be maintained as
long as the brakes were not pre­
viously applied.
Important:
Only use the cruise control if the
traffic conditions make it advisable to
travel at a steady speed.
Position “ Resume” should be
engaged only if the driver is fully
aware of the previously set speed and
wishes to resume this particular
preset speed.
When driving with the cruise control,
the transmission selector lever must
not be shifted to position “ N” as oth­
erwise the engine will overrev.
