The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay.
Indicated temperatures just above the freez-
ing point do not guarantee that the road sur-
face is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
You should pay special attention to road con-
ditions when temperatures are around the
freezing point.

chains, see (

Driving systems
Cruise control
General notes
Cruise control maintains a constant road
speed for you. Cruise control does not brake
the vehicle automatically. Only the engine's
braking effect is available. In order to
reduce speed and maintain distance to other
road users, you need to brake yourself. This
cancels cruise control.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic
conditions make it appropriate to maintain a
steady speed for a prolonged period. You can
use cruise control at speeds above 30 km/h.
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise
control can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics.
Cruise control cannot take into account road,
weather or traffic conditions. Cruise control
is only an aid. You are responsible for the
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, for braking in good time, and for stay-
ing in lane.
Do not use cruise control:
R
in road and traffic conditions which do not
allow you to maintain a constant speed (e.g.
in heavy traffic or on winding roads)
R
on smooth or slippery roads. Braking or
accelerating can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle could then
skid
R
when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
fog, heavy rain or snow
If there is a change of drivers, advise the new
driver of the speed stored.

When you switch off the engine, cruise
control remains activated and the last

Storing and maintaining the current
speed
When cruise control is active, you can save
the current speed starting from 30 km/h.
