ments of 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h).

ly when

ments in the multifunction display will go out
and no warning sounds.
ț the vehicle speed is below 20 mph
(30 km/h)
ț the ESP ® is in operation or switched off with
the ESP ® switch ( ୴ page 72)

tral position N while driving

should not be set to neutral position N while driv-
ing except to coast when the vehicle is in danger
of skidding (e.g. on icy roads).

deactivate the cruise control. After a brief accel-
eration (e.g. for passing), the cruise control will
resume the last set speed.
Warning!
G
If you increase the set speed, keep in mind
that it may take a brief moment until the ve-
hicle has made the necessary adjustments.
Increase the set speed to a value that the
prevailing road conditions and legal speed
limits permit. Otherwise, sudden and unex-
pected acceleration of the vehicle could
cause an accident and/or serious injury to
you and others.
i The set speed value is increased in 1 mph
(Canada: 1 km/h) increments each time you lift
the cruise control lever up to the resistance
point.
