The cruise control is available whenever
the engine is running and the system
has been activated.

Press the button and the indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster will come on,
refer to page 20. You can now use the
cruise control.
Do not use cruise control on
twisting roads, when high traffic
density prevents driving at a constant
speed, or when the road surface is slick
(snow, rain, ice) or loose (rocks or
gravel, sand).
ment cluster goes out.
Cruise control is also deactivated when
the ignition key is in position 0.
The speed stored in memory is deleted.
To maintain and store speed
or to acceleratePress button (+) briefly:
The system maintains and stores the
current vehicle speed. Every time you
tap the button, the speed increases by
0.6 mph (1 km/h).
Press and hold button (+):

engine braking effect is not suffi-
cient, the preset speed can be
exceeded. Speed can drop on uphill
grades if the engine output is insuffi-
cient.<
