Resuming the stored speed
G
Risk of accident
Only select a stored speed if you know what
that speed is and whether it is suitable for
the current situation. Otherwise, sudden ac-
celeration or braking could endanger you or
others.
E Briefly pull the cruise control lever in
the direction of arrow
2.
E Release the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is activated and adjusts

Setting the speed
G
Risk of accident
The rate at which you increase the speed in
1 km/h increments may be faster than your
vehicle is able to accelerate. Your vehicle
may then continue to accelerate up to the
newly set speed even after you have re-
leased the cruise control lever.
Only increase the speed as the prevailing
conditions permit. Sudden acceleration
could otherwise endanger you and others.
E Tap the cruise control lever upwards
1 to increase the speed, and down-
wards
4 to reduce the speed.
The last speed stored is increased or
reduced in increments of 1 km/h.
