Cruise control maintains a constant road speed
for you. It brakes automatically in order to avoid
exceeding the set speed. You must select a
lower gear in good time on long and steep
downhill gradients, especially if the vehicle is
laden or towing a trailer.WARNING
For vehicles with automatic transmission, you
need to have selected manual drive program M
(see
Manual drive program earlier in this sec-
tion). By doing so, you will make use of the
braking effect of the engine. This relieves the
load on the brake system and prevents the
brakes from overheating and wearing too
quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con-
ditions are appropriate for maintaining a steady
speed for a prolonged period. You can set the
cruise control at any road speed above 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
The speed indicated in the speedometer may
differ slightly from the set speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
5-44Starting and driving

WARNING
•If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise
control can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics.
Cruise control cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions. Cruise
control is only an aid. You are responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for
vehicle speed, for braking in good time, and
for staying in lane.
•Always observe the posted speed limits and
do not set the speed over them.
•Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions. Doing so
could cause a loss of vehicle control and
result in an accident.– When it is not possible to keep the ve-
hicle at a constant speed
– When driving in heavy traffic
– When driving in traffic that varies speed
– When driving in windy areas
– When driving on winding or hilly roads
– When driving on slippery (rain, snow,
ice, etc.) roads
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
1Store the current speed or a higher speed
2Store the current speed, or if a speed has
previously been stored, call up the last
stored speed.
3Store the current speed or a lower speed
4Deactivate the cruise control system
When you activate cruise control, the stored
speed is shown in the vehicle information dis-
play for five seconds.
Activation conditions
To activate cruise control, all of the following
activation conditions must be fulfilled:
•The electric parking brake must be released.
•You are driving faster than 20 MPH (30
km/h).
•VDC must be switched on, but not interven-
ing.
Storing, maintaining and calling up a
speed
Storing and maintaining the current speed:
You can store the current speed if you are
driving faster than 20 MPH (30 km/h):
1. Accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed.
2. Briefly press the cruise controller lever up
1or down3.
3. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is activated. The vehicle auto-
matically maintains the speed.
NOTE
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Cruise control maintains the stored speed on
downhill gradients by automatically braking the
vehicle.
NSD618A
Starting and driving5-45

Storing the current speed or calling up the last
stored speed:
WARNING
If you call up a stored speed and this is differ-
ent from the current speed, the vehicle accel-
erates or brakes. If you do not know what the
stored speed is, the vehicle may accelerate or
brake unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Take the traffic conditions into account before
calling up the stored speed. If you do not know
what the stored speed is, store the desired
speed again.
1. Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards you
2.
2. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The first time cruise control is acti-
vated, it stores the current speed or if a
speed has previously been stored, it regu-
lates the speed of the vehicle to the previ-
ously stored speed.
Setting a speed
Bear in mind that it may take a brief moment
until the vehicle has accelerated or braked to
the set speed.
1. Press the cruise control lever up
1for a
higher speed or down
3for a lower speed.
2. Keep the cruise control lever pressed until the desired speed is reached.
3. Release the cruise control lever, The new speed is stored.
4. To adjust the set speed in 1 MPH (1 km/h) increments: briefly press the cruise control
lever up
1or down3to the pressure
point. The last stored speed increases or
decreases in 1 MPH (1 km/h) increments.
5. To adjust the set speed in 10 MPH (10 km/h) increments: briefly press the cruise control
lever up
1or down3beyond the pressure
point. The last stored speed increases or
decreases in 10 MPH (10 km/h) increments.
NOTE
Cruise control is not deactivated if you depress
the accelerator pedal. For example, if you accel-
erate briefly to overtake, cruise control adjusts
the vehicle’s speed to the last speed stored after
you have finished overtaking.
Deactivating cruise control
There are several ways to deactivate cruise
control:
•Briefly press the cruise control lever forward
4.
or
•Brake.
Cruise control is automatically deactivated if:
•The vehicle is secured with the electric park-
ing brake.
•You are driving at less than 20 MPH (30
km/h).
•VDC intervenes or you deactivate VDC.
If cruise control is deactivated, you will hear a
warning tone. You will see the [Cruise Control
Off] message in the vehicle information display
for approximately five seconds.
NOTE
The last speed stored is cleared when you switch
off the engine.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the ICC system could result in
serious injury or death.
•ICC is not a collision avoidance or warning
device. For highway and freeway way use
only and not intended for congested areas
or city driving. Failure to apply the brakes
could result in an accident. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
•Always observe posted speed limits and do
not set the speed over them.
•Always drive carefully and attentively when
using the ICC. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using
the ICC system. To avoid serious injury or
death, do not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehicle’s speed
in emergency situations. Do not use the ICC
system except in appropriate road and traf-
fic conditions.

ICC SYSTEM OPERATION
1Speedometer
2Distance warning light
3Vehicle information display
4Cruise control leverThe ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a ve-
hicle traveling in the same lane and direction.
If the distance sensorAdetects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows
the vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the speed
range of 0 to 125 MPH (0 to 200 km/h) up to the
set speed. The set speed can be selected by the
driver between 20 to 125 MPH (30 to 200 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the road
ahead is clear.
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front of
you and reduce the speed to match a slower
vehicle ahead. The system will decelerate the
vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle ahead
comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill. However, the ICC system can only
apply up to 50% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-
main fairly constant or when vehicle speeds
change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the
traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer because the
ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system
will sound a warning chime and illuminate the
distance warning light to notify the driver to
take necessary action.

5-48Starting and driving

The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:
•When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,
the ICC system maintains the speed set by
the driver. The set speed range is between
approximately 20 and 125 MPH (30 and 200
km/h).
•When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by driver, from the vehicle
ahead. The adjusting speed range is up to
the set speed. If the vehicle ahead comes to
a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. Once
the vehicle is stationary, it remains station-
ary and you do not need to depress the brake
pedal.
•When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved
out from its lane of travel, pull the cruise
control lever or push the accelerator pedal
briefly. The ICC system accelerates and main-
tains vehicle speed up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle speed
or warn you when you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead when approaching toll
gates or traffic congestion.
