Controls
Cruise Control
Any given speed above approxi­
mately 40 km/h/25 mph can be
maintained with the cruise control
by operating the switch.
1 Setting (touch switch)
Accelerating (hold switch)
2 Setting (touch switch)
Decelerating (hold switch)
Normally the vehicle is accelerated
to the desired speed with the acce­
lerator. Speed is set by briefly
20
pushing the switch to position 1
or 2, and the accelerator can 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, retain switch in
position 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.
The cruise control will also be
cancelled if the brake pedal is
actuated or if the vehicle speed
drops below approximately
40 km /h/25 mph.
4 Resume
If the lever is briefly pushed to
position 4 when driving at a
speed exceeding approximately
40 km/h/25 mph, that speed is
resumed which was set prior to
the cancellation of the cruise
control. The last memorized
speed is cancelled when the
key in the steering lock is
turned to position “ 1” or “0” .
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 particu­
lar preset speed.
When driving with the cruise con­
trol, the selector lever must not be
shifted to position “N” as otherwise
the engine will overrev.
