for driving at a constant speed for extended
periods of time.

(“Resume” function) appears in the
multifunction display for approximately
5 seconds. The corresponding cruise control
speed segments : from the selected speed
to the vehicle maximum speed in the
multifunction display are illuminated.

Warning!

The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during vehicle
operation. The driver is and must always
remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed
and for safe brake operation.
Only use the cruise control if the road, traffic,
and weather conditions make it advisable to
travel at a constant speed.

dangerous on winding roads or in heavy
traffic because conditions do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.

The use of the cruise control can be
dangerous on slippery roads. Rapid
changes in tire traction can result in wheel
spin and loss of control.
