WARNING
The use of a number plate may interfere in
the views shown on the screen, since the
cameras' field of vision may be reduced.
CAUTION

In order to guarantee good system opera-
tion, keep the cameras clean, free of snow
or ice, and do not cover them with adhe-
sives or other objects.

The vehicle is fitt

tem for the rear camera. To operate it, push
the wiper lever away from the steering

Do not use hot or warm water to remove
ice or snow from the camera lenses. Doing

Cruise control (GRA)
Introduction
The cruise control system (GRA) helps main-
t
ain a const
ant speed set by you.
Speed range
The cruise control system is available when
driving in forward gear at a speed of over ap-
prox. 20 km/h (15 mph).
Temporarily switching off the cruise con-
trol
The saved speed can be exceeded at any
time, e.g. for overtaking. The cruise control is
suspended during acceleration and is then
resumed with the saved speed.
Status display
When the cruise control system is switched
on, the instrument cluster display shows the
saved speed and the system status:
It lights up grey
The cruise control system is switched on, but regula-
tion is not active.
It lights up green
The cruise control system is switched on and regula-
tion is active.
If there is no speed saved, the instrument
clust
er displa
y shows instead of speed.
Changing gears
As soon as the clutch pedal is depressed,
regulation is suspended and resumes once
the gear change has been made.
Driving down slopes
Shift into a low gear before descending a
long hill. This makes use of engine braking
and relieves the brakes.
WARNING
If it is impossible to drive with sufficient
braking distance and at a constant speed,
using the cruise control system may cause
accidents and serious injuries may occur.
