Cruise control* - managing speed
It is possible to activate, set and change the
stored speed.
Activating and setting the speed
To start the cruise control:
•
Press the steering wheel button for CRUISE
(without speed limiter) or
(with speed
limiter).
> The cruise control symbol (6) in the com-
bined instrument panel illuminates - cruise
control is in standby mode.
To activate cruise control:
•
At the required speed - press the steering
wheel button
or .
> The current speed is stored in memory and
the combined instrument panel's marking (5)
illuminates at the selected speed and the
symbol (6) changes from GREY to WHITE -
the car then follows the stored speed.
NOTE
Cruise Control cannot be enabled at speeds
below 30 km/h (20 mph).
Changing the stored speed
Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the
or steering wheel button.
To adjust 5 km/h (5 mph):
•
Use short presses - each press gives 5 km/h
(5 mph).
To adjust 1 km/h (1 mph):
•
Hold down the button and release it at the
required speed.
Last press made is stored in the memory.
If speed is increased using the accelerator pedal
prior to pressing the
/ button, then it is the
car's current speed when the button is pressed
that is stored.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the cruise control setting - the car returns to the
last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held
depressed for several minutes then it is
blocked and deactivated. To be able to reacti-
vate Cruise Control, the car must be stopped
and the engine restarted.
