Speed control
Details and Technology
Speeds upward of 29 km/h (18 mph) can be stored using the speed control stalk on the steering column.
Speed control then maintains a constant speed.
Operating the speed control stalk:
Up: the current or a higher speed is stored
Down: the current or a lower speed is stored
Pull back: resumes the last stored speed
Push forward: speed control function is switched off
Speed control can also be switched off by operating the brake pedal.
Benefits and Arguments
• Constant speeds result in fuel-efficient driving
Maintaining a constant speed enhances ride comfort and ensures relaxed driving, particularly when
towing a trailer, since the vehicle automatically adheres to a specified speed. Maintenance of a constant
speed also may help to save fuel, as well as reducing driver stress since there is no need to operate the
accelerator pedal as long as the system is activated.
