CRUISE CONTROL*
Starting at about 25 mph (40 km/h), the
vehicle maintains and stores any vehicle
speed that you specify.
Do not use cruise control on twisting
roads, when high traffic density
prevents driving at a constant speed, when
the road surface is slick (snow, rain, ice), or
when the road surface is loose (rocks,
sand).<
To activate the system
From ignition key position 1:
Press button 2.
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
Cruise control is active.
To maintain and store speed or to
accelerate
Press button 3.
The system maintains and stores the
current vehicle speed. Every time you tap
the button, the speed increases by approx.
1 mph (2 km/h).
Press and hold button 3.
The vehicle accelerates without pressure on
the accelerator pedal. When you release
the button, the system maintains and
stores the current speed.
If, on a downhill gradient, the engine
braking effect is not sufficient, the
controlled speed may be exceeded. Speed
can drop on uphill grades if the engine
output is insufficient.<
To decelerate
Press button 4.
If you are already driving with active cruise
control, the speed is decreased by approx.
1 mph (2 km/h) every time you briefly tap
the button.
Press and hold button 4.
With the cruise control active, the system
automatically reduces the throttle opening
to slow the vehicle. When you release the
button, the system maintains and stores
the current speed.
