→ Using the cruise control system

The cruise control system (CCS) helps to maintain an individual set speed at forward speeds of approx. 20 km/h (12 mph) and higher.

The CCS only slows the vehicle by easing off the accelerator, not by actively braking. The CCS cannot maintain a constant speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can increase under its own weight. Shift down gear and brake the vehicle using the foot brake .

Additional information and warnings:

Changing gear

Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts

WARNING

The use of the cruise control system can lead to accidents and serious injuries if traffic does not allow you to drive at a safe distance from the vehicle in front at a constant speed.

Never use the CCS in heavy traffic, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.

Never use the CCS when driving off-road or on unsurfaced roads.

Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

Always switch cruise control off after use to avoid unintentional operation.

It is dangerous to use a set speed that is too high for the prevailing road, traffic or weather conditions.

The CCS cannot maintain a constant speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can increase under its own weight. Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using the foot brake.
