erating

erating
3 Interrupting cruise control
4 Recalling a speed
Maintaining and memorising speed,
accelerating
Press the lever as far as the pressure point,
arrow
1:
The car's current speed is maintained and
memorised. Display
1 in the speedometer
shows this controlled speed, see further below.
Each time the lever is pressed, the speed
increases by approx. 1 km/h or 1 mph.
Press the lever as far as the pressure point and
hold it there:
The car accelerates without the accelerator
pedal being pressed. As soon as you release
the lever, the speed the car has reached will be
maintained and memorised.
Press the lever beyond the pressure point:
Increase speed by 10 km/h or 5 mph.
If engine braking alone is insufficient on a down-
hill gradient, the set speed may be exceeded. It
may also prove impossible to maintain speed
with the available engine power on uphill gradi-
ents.
Maintaining and memorising speed,
decelerating
Pull the lever, arrow 2:
Functions as 1, except that the car's speed is
reduced instead.
Interrupting cruise control

In addition, you interrupt the cruise control
function automatically:
> When braking
> When you operate the clutch or engage
automatic transmission/SMG position N
> When DSC has cut in
Recalling a speed
Press button 4:
The memorised speed is recalled and main-
tained.
Deactivating the system
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the sys-
tem is deactivated and the speed stored in the
memory is deleted.
