Concept
Using this system, a desired speed can be adjusted using the buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the desired speed. The system accelerates and brakes automatically as needed.
General information
Depending on the vehicle setting, the cruise control settings may change under certain conditions.
For instance, acceleration can change depending on the driving mode.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment in assessing the traffic conditions. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
The use of the system can lead to an increased risk of accidents in the following situations, for instance:
There may be a risk of accident or risk of damage to property. Only use the system if driving at constant speed is possible.
Warning
The desired speed can be incorrectly adjusted or called up by mistake. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust the desired speed to the traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Overview
Buttons on the steering wheel
Cruise control on/off
Pause cruise control / Continue cruise control with the last setting
Store speed
Rocker switch: Set speed
Switching cruise control on/off
Switching on
Press the button on the steering wheel.
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster light up and the mark in the speedometer is set to the current speed.
Cruise control is active. The current speed is maintained and stored as desired speed.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on, if necessary.
Switching off
Press the button on the steering wheel.
The displays go out. The stored desired speed is deleted.
Pausing cruise control
Interrupting manually
When active, press the button.
Interrupting automatically
The system is automatically interrupted in the following situations, for example:
Setting the speed
Maintaining and storing the speed
Press the rocker switch up or down once while the system is interrupted.
When the system is switched on, the current speed is maintained and stored as the desired speed.
The stored speed is displayed in the speedometer and briefly in the instrument cluster.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on, if necessary.
The speed can also be stored by pressing a button.
Press the button.
Changing the speed
Press the rocker switch up or down repeatedly until the desired speed is set.
If active, the displayed speed is stored and the vehicle reaches the stored speed when the road is clear.
The maximum speed that can be set depends on the vehicle.
After the rocker switch is released, the vehicle maintains its final speed. Pressing the switch beyond the resistance point causes the vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.
Continuing cruise control
An interrupted cruise control can be continued by calling up the stored speed.
Make sure that the difference between current speed and stored speed is not too large before calling up the stored speed. Otherwise, unintentional braking or accelerating may occur.
Press the button with the system interrupted.
Cruise control is continued with the stored values.
In the following cases, the stored speed value is deleted and cannot be called up again:
Displays in the instrument cluster
Display in the speedometer
Indicator light
Status display
The selected desired speed is hidden after a brief time.
Displays in the Head-up Display
Some system information can also be displayed in the Head-up Display.
The symbol is displayed when the set desired speed is reached.
System limits
The desired speed is also maintained downhill.
The speed may not be maintained on uphill grades if the engine power is insufficient.
In ECO PRO driving mode, the vehicle may exceed or drop below the set desired speed in some situations, for instance on downhill or uphill grades.
