Cruise control system
Introduction to the topic
The cruise control system helps to main-
tain a speed set by the driver.
Speed range
The CCS is available when driving forwards at
speeds from around 20 km/h (15 mph).
Driving with the cruise control system
You can exceed the stored speed at any time,
e.g. to overtake. Control is interrupted for the
duration of the acceleration manoeuvre and
is then resumed with the stored speed.
Displays
When the CCSis switched on, the instrument
cluster display shows the stored speed and
the status of the CCS:
CCS switched on, system control ac-
tive.
CCS switched on, system control not
active.
If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster
display shows
instead of the speed.
WARNING
The use of the CCS can lead to accidents
and serious injuries if traffic does not allow
you to drive at a safe distance from the ve-
hicle in front at a constant speed.
·
Never use the CCS in heavy traffic, if the
distance to the vehicles in front is insuf-
ficient, on steep or winding roads, on
slippery road surfaces, e.g. due to snow,
ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on
flooded roads.
·
Never use the CCS when driving offroad
or on unpaved road surfaces.
