6.7.4 Cruise control
In order to relieve the driver, the vehicle is equipped with a cruise control. Therefore,
the driving speed may be preselected either by pressing the drive pedal or by switch-
ing on cruise control.
6.7.4.1 Switching on cruise control in operating mode "Road"
Cruise control may only be switched on in operating mode "Road", if the following con-
ditions are met:
Operating mode "Road" switched on (displayed on the R-Touch),
driving speed higher than 10 km/h.
When the cruise control is switched on, it assumes the speed set by the drive pedal at
that moment.
This speed is not necessarily the actual speed.
Example:
The currently driven speed is 11 km/h. The driver quickly presses the drive pedal to
the stop. The drive pedal sets the machine to maximum speed. The machine begins
to accelerate. In this moment, cruise control is switched on. Cruise control assumes
the speed set by the drive pedal (= maximum speed). If you would like to increase
the speed shortly during the drive, then you can override cruise control at any time
by pressing on the drive pedal. If you drive faster than set by cruise control, then
cruise control is switched on, but the effect of cruise control during driving can only be
detected when you reduce pressure on the drive pedal. When you release the drive
pedal, then the machine will continue to drive at the speed assumed by cruise control.
