159
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed, more than 25 km/h,
without you having to actuate the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and braking power of the engine.
The warning light  illuminates in the instrument cluster when the cruise con-
trol system is switched on.
WARNING■ For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads,
loose gravel) – risk of accident!■
The saved speed may only be resumed if it is not too high for the current
traffic conditions.
■
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.
CAUTION
■ The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when
driving in areas with steeper gradients. The weight of the vehicle increases the
speed at which it travels. In such cases, select a lower gear or brake the vehi-
cle using the footbrake.■
The cruise control system cannot be activated when first gear or reverse
gear is selected (vehicles with manual transmission).
■
The cruise control system cannot be activated when the selector lever is in
positions P, N or R (vehicles with automatic transmission).
■
The cruise control system may automatically switch off when some brake as-
sist systems (e.g. ESC) intervene, when the maximum permissible engine
speed is exceeded, etc.

Increasing the speed with the rocker button
B›
Push the rocker button
B
into the RES/+ » Fig. 150 on page 158 position.
If the rocker button is held in the RES/+ position, the speed will increase con-
tinuously. Release the rocker button once the desired speed is reached. The
set speed is then stored in the memory.
Decreasing the speed using the rocker button
B
The stored speed can be reduced by pushing the rocker switch
B
into the
SET/- » Fig. 150 on page 158 position.
If the rocker button is pressed and held in the SET/- position, the speed will
decrease continuously. Release the rocker button once the desired speed is
reached. The set speed is then stored in the memory.
If the rocker button is released at a speed of less than approx. 25 km/h, the
speed is not stored and the memory is erased. Once the speed of the vehicle
has increased to more than approx. 25 km/h, the speed must then be stored
again by pushing the rocker button
B
into the SET/- position.
Increasing the speed with the accelerator
›
Depress the accelerator pedal.
Releasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.
Decreasing the speed with the brake pedal
The speed can also be reduced by depressing the brake pedal, which tempora-
rily deactivates the system » page 159.
Switching off temporarily
