Cruise Control System
Introduction
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal. The state where the CCS maintains the speed is
referred to hereinafter as the control.
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 212, in section Introduction.
■
After pressing the clutch pedal, no interrupted control occurs! For exam-
ple, if a different gear is engaged and the clutch pedal is released, control is
continued.

System fault - seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Basic requirements for start of control
The CCS is activated.
On vehicles with a manual transmission, the second gear or higher is en-
gaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, the selector lever is in the
D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is greater than approx. 20 km/h.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output
and braking power of the engine.
WARNING
If the engine power and engine braking effect is insufficient in order to
maintain the set speed, the acceleration and brake pedals must be taken
over!
