Automatic Speed Control<br />
The automatic speed control maintains any<br />
selected speed between 15 mph and 145 mph<br />
(30 km/h and 240 km/h) without you having to<br />
use the accelerator pedal.<br />
The automatic speed control is operated with the<br />
lever on the steering wheel.<br />
86 Operation, Safety<br />
Vehicles with PDK<br />
Downshifts are carried out to help maintain the<br />
pre-selected speed (especially when driving downhill).<br />
Warning!<br />
Risk of an accident resulting in serious personal<br />
injury or death. A constant speed may<br />
not be safe in heavy traffic, or on winding or<br />
slippery roads.<br />
With the speed control system engaged, the<br />
engine speed will not return to idle when removing<br />
the foot from the accelerator pedal.<br />
f Do not use the speed control when it may be<br />
unsafe to keep the car at a constant speed.<br />
f Observe all local and national speed limits.<br />
Switch automatic speed control<br />
readiness on<br />
f Press button A on the automatic speed control<br />
lever.<br />
This green indicator light in the<br />
speedometer now indicates readiness<br />
Hold and store speed<br />
f Bring the car to the desired speed with the<br />
accelerator.<br />
f Then briefly push the operating lever forward<br />
(position 1).<br />
Accelerating (e.g. to overtake)<br />
Option 1<br />
f Increase the speed as usual with the<br />
accelerator.<br />
When you ease off the accelerator, the<br />
previously saved value is set again.<br />
Option 2<br />
f Push operating lever forward (position 1) until<br />
the desired speed is reached.<br />
The speed reached is maintained and stored<br />
when the lever is released.<br />
Option 3<br />
f Push lever slightly forwards (position 1)<br />
(a maximum of 10 times).<br />
The speed is increased by 1 mph (1.6 km/h),<br />
each time the lever is pushed forwards.<br />
Note on operation<br />
Speed control operation is automatically interrupted<br />
if the speed is increased by more than approx.<br />
16 mph (25 km/h ) for longer than 20 seconds.
