Driving and operating 143Cruise controlThe cruise control can store andmaintain speeds of approx. 20 to120 mph (30 to 200 km/h). Deviationsfrom the stored speeds may occurwhen driving uphill or downhill.For safety reasons the cruise controlcannot be activated until the footbrake has been operated once.Do not use the cruise control if it is notadvisable to maintain a constantspeed.With automatic transmission, onlyactivate cruise control in automaticmode.Control indicator m 3 89.ActivationPress rocker switch m down, controlindicator m illuminates white.Accelerate to the desired speed andturn thumb wheel to RES/+ or SET/-,the current speed is stored andmaintained. Control indicator milluminates green. Accelerator pedalcan be released.Vehicle speed can be increased bydepressing the accelerator pedal.When the accelerator pedal isreleased, the previously stored speedis resumed.The speed cannot be increased byturning the thumb wheel to RES/+while first gear is selected.Increase speedWith cruise control active, hold thumbwheel turned to RES/+ or briefly turnto RES/+ repeatedly: speedincreases continuously or in smallincrements.Alternatively accelerate to the desiredspeed and store by turning to RES/+.Reduce speedWith cruise control active, hold thumbwheel turned to SET/- or briefly turnto SET/- repeatedly: speeddecreases continuously or in smallincrements.DeactivationPress rocker switch m up, controlindicator m extinguishes. Cruisecontrol is deactivated.Automatic deactivation:■ vehicle speed below approx.20 mph (30 km/h),■ the brake pedal is depressed,■ the clutch pedal is depressed,■ selector lever in N,■ the Traction Control system orElectronic Stability Control isoperating.Resume stored speedTurn thumb wheel to RES/+ ata speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
