ways.

increments
̈ Briefly lift the cruise control lever to the
resistance point in direction of
arrow
1 ( ୴ page 242).
̈ Release the cruise control lever.
The vehicle set speed increases in in-
crements 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h).
Adjustment in 5 mph
(Canada: 10 km/h) increments
̈ Briefly lift the cruise control lever past
the resistance point in direction of
arrow
1 ( ୴ page 242).
̈ Release the cruise control lever.

crements 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h).
! Vehicles with automatic transmission*:
Setting the automatic transmission to N while
driving cancels the cruise control. However, the
gear selector lever should not be moved to
position N while driving except to coast when
the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.g. on icy
roads).
i Depressing the accelerator pedal does not
deactivate the cruise control. After brief acceler-
ation (e.g. for passing), the cruise control will re-
sume the last speed set.
Warning!
G
If you increase the set vehicle speed, keep in
mind that it may take a brief moment until
the vehicle has reached the set speed.
Increase the set vehicle speed to a value
that the prevailing road conditions and legal
speed limits permit. Otherwise, sudden and
unexpected acceleration of the vehicle
could cause an accident and/or serious
injury to you and others.

moment until the vehicle has reached the set
speed.
