Cruise control system (CCS)*
Introduction
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than
30 km/h, once it has been set, without you having to depress the acceler-
ator pedal. This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the
power output and braking power of the engine. The cruise control system
makes it possible - particularly on long journeys - for you to rest your
“accelerator foot”.
WARNING
• The cruise control system must not, for safety reasons, be used
in dense traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy
roads, slippery roads or loose chippings) - risk of accident!
• In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control
system, always switch off the system after use.
Note
• Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Always depress the clutch pedal
if you switch on the cruise control system when the gearbox is in Neutral.
Otherwise the engine can rev up unintentionally.
• The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed
when driving on steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle
increases the speed at which it travels. One should shift down in good time
to a lower gear or slow the vehicle down by applying the foot brake.
• It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch
on the cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or
R.
Storing a speed
The cruise control system is operated by means of the slide
switch and rocker button in the left lever of the multi-func-
tional switch.
– Press the switch ⇒ fig. 104 into the position ON.
– After the desired speed has been reached, press the rocker
button into the SET position - the current speed is stored.
After you have released the rocker button out of the position SET, the
speed you have just stored is maintained at a constant speed without
having to depress the accelerator.
You can increase the speed by depressing the accelerator. Releasing the
accelerator will cause the speed to drop again to the set speed.
This does not apply, however, if you drive at a speed which is more than
10 km/h higher than the set speed for a period of longer than 5 minutes.
