Cruise control 3
Cruise control can store and maintain
speeds over approx. 20 mph (30 km/h).
For safety reasons, the cruise control
cannot be activated until the footbrake
has be en ope ra ted once.
Cruise control is operated with
buttons 9, 8 and : on the turn signal
stalk, located on the right-hand side of the
stee ring whee l.
Do not use cruise control if it is not
advisable to maintain a constant speed
(e.g. in situations presenting a danger to
yourself and other road users, in heavy
traffic or on winding, slippery or greasy
roads).
Deviation from the stored speed may occur
when driving up or downhill, depending on
gradient, speed and vehicle load.
It may be necessary to apply the
accelerator to maintain the desired speed
when driving uphill, or to brake or
downshift w hen driving downhill.
Applying the footbrake switches cruise
control off, so many drivers do not use
cruise control when driving up or down
steep gradients.
