Stopping
For brief stops, e.g. at traffic lights,
leave the transmission in gear and
hold vehicle with the service
brake.
For longer stops with the engine
idling, shift into "N ” or ” P” .
When stopping the car on an up­
hill incline, do not hold it with the
accelerator, use the brake. This
avoids unnecessary transmission
heat build up.
Warning!
Getting out of your car with
the selector lever not fully
engaged in position ”P” is
dangerous. When parked on
an incline, position ”P” alone
may not prevent your vehicle
from moving, possibly hitting
people or objects.
Always set the parking brake
in addition to shifting to
position ”P”.
When parked on an incline,
also turn front wheel against
curb.
Cruise Control
Any given speed above approxi­
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) can be
maintained with the cruise control
by operating the lever.
1 Accelerate and set:
Lift lever briefly to set speed.
Hold lever up to accelerate.
2 Decelerate and set:
Depress lever briefly to set
speed.
Hold lever down to decelerate.
Normally the vehicle is acceler­
ated to the desired speed with the
accelerator.
Speed is set by briefly pushing the
lever to position 1 or 2. The accel­
erator can be released.
The speed can be increased (e.g.
for passing) by using the accelera­
tor. 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 lever in posi­
tion 1 or 2 until the desired speed
is reached, or briefly tip the con­
trol lever in the appropriate direc­
tion for increases or decreases in
0.6 mph (1 km/h) increments.
When the lever is released, the
newly set speed remains.
