Maintaining current speed<br />
Tap the lever, arrow 1, or pull it briefly, arrow 2.<br />
The car's current speed is stored and maintained.<br />
It is displayed on the speedometer and<br />
briefly in the instrument cluster.<br />
On uphill gradients, it may prove impossible to<br />
maintain the set speed if current engine power<br />
output is insufficient. If the engine braking<br />
effect is insufficient on downhill slopes, the system<br />
will brake the vehicle slightly.<br />
Increasing desired speed<br />
Repeatedly press the lever to the resistance<br />
point or beyond, arrow 1, until the desired<br />
speed is reached.<br />
> Each time the lever is pressed to the resistance<br />
point, the desired speed is increased<br />
by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.<br />
> Each time the lever is pressed beyond the<br />
resistance point, the desired speed is<br />
increased by up to 5 mph or 10 km/h.<br />
The system stores and maintains the speed.<br />
Accelerating using the lever<br />
Accelerating slightly:<br />
Press the lever to the resistance point, arrow 1,<br />
until the desired speed is reached.<br />
Accelerating significantly:<br />
Press the lever beyond the resistance point,<br />
arrow 1, until the desired speed is reached.<br />
The vehicle accelerates <strong>without</strong> pressure on<br />
the accelerator pedal. The system stores and<br />
maintains the speed.<br />
Decreasing speed<br />
Repeatedly pull the lever to the resistance point<br />
or beyond, arrow 2, until the desired speed is<br />
displayed.<br />
> Each time the lever is pulled to the resistance<br />
point, the desired speed is decreased<br />
by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.<br />
> Each time the lever is pulled beyond the<br />
resistance point, the desired speed is<br />
reduced by up to 5 mph or 10 km/h until the<br />
minimum speed of 20 mph or 30 km/h is<br />
achieved.<br />
The system stores and maintains the speed.<br />
Deactivating cruise control<br />
Tap the lever upwards or downwards, arrow 3.<br />
The displays on the speedometer disappear.<br />
In addition, the system is automatically deactivated:<br />
> When you brake the vehicle<br />
> When you switch gears very slowly or shift<br />
to neutral in cars with manual transmission<br />
> When you select the automatic transmission's<br />
neutral position N<br />
> When you select the neutral position N with<br />
the Sports automatic transmission with<br />
double clutch<br />
> When you activate DTC or deactivate DSC<br />
> When DSC or ABS is intervening<br />
Cruise control is not deactivated by depressing<br />
the accelerator pedal. Once the accelerator<br />
pedal is released, the stored speed is achieved<br />
again and maintained.<br />
Warning lamp<br />
The warning lamp lights up when<br />
cruise control is deactivated due to<br />
control intervention by the DSC, for<br />
example.<br />
