Activating cruise control
You can activate cruise control if the vehi-
cle speed is above 20 mph (30 km/h).

cruise control:
ț when you brake
ț the vehicle is secured with the electric
parking brake
ț if the automatic transmission is set to
position P, R, or N
ț if ESP
®
is switched off
Setting current speed
̈ Accelerate or decelerate to the desired
speed.
̈ Briefly lift the cruise control lever in
direction of arrow 1 or depress in
direction of arrow 2.
The current speed is set.
Warning! G
Cruise control brakes automatically so that
the set speed is not exceeded. The brake
pedal depresses when cruise control engag-
es the brakes.
Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times, in-
cluding the area under the brake pedal. Ob-
jects stored in this area may impair pedal
movement which could interfere with the
braking ability of the cruise control system.
Do not place your foot under the brake pedal
– your foot could become caught.
Keep in mind that cruise control is a conve-
nience system designed to assist the driver
during vehicle operation. The driver is and
must always remain responsible for the ve-
hicle’s speed and for safe brake operation.
