Cruise control dependence on drive
mode
The cruise control's way of maintaining a speed
may vary depending on the selected drive
mode
25
.
Eco Cruise cruise control with ECO drive
mode
In ECO drive mode the cruise control's accelera-
tions and decelerations become smoother com-
pared to other drive modes to optimise fuel and
environmental economy. This can cause the car's
speed to be temporarily above or below the set
speed.
Cruise control Dynamic Cruise
In Dynamic drive mode, the cruise control's accel-
erations and decelerations are felt more strongly
and seem more direct compared to other modes.

Deactivate Cruise Control and set it
in standby mode
Cruise control (CC
26
) can be temporarily deacti-
vated so that it is set in the standby mode and
can be reactivated later.
Deactivate Cruise Control and set in
standby mode
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary
depending on car model.
To set cruise control in standby mode:
–
Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The cruise control markings and symbols
in the driver display change colour from
WHITE to GREY - cruise control is now
temporarily deactivated and the driver
must then manually control the speed.
Standby mode on driver intervention
The cruise control is temporarily deactivated and
set in standby mode if:
•
the foot brake is used
•
the gear selector is moved to N position
•
the clutch pedal is held depressed for longer
than 1 minute
•
the driver maintains a speed higher than the
stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the speed himself/
herself.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and set
in standby mode if:
•
wheels lose traction
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
brake temperature is too high
•
speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).
The driver must then control the speed himself/
herself.
