System limitations
Cruise control maybeunable to maintain the
stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when thegradient evens out.
On long and steep downhill gradients, youshould
changedowntoalowergear in good time. Take
particular note of this when driving aladen vehi‐
cle. By doing so, youwill makeuse of the
engine'sbraking effect. Thisrelievesthe load on
thebrake system and prevents thebrakesfrom
overheating and wearing tooquickly.
Do notuse cruise control in thefollowing situa‐
tions:
R
In trafficsituations where frequent speed
changes arerequired, e.g. in heavy trafficor
on winding roads.
R
On slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the
drivewheels to lose traction and thevehicle
could then skid.
R
If youare drivingwhen visibilityispoor.
