Warning
G
The rate at which you increase the speed in
1 mph increments (1 km/h increments) may
be faster than your vehicle is able to accel-
erate. Your vehicle may then continue to ac-
celerate up to the newly set speed even
after you have released the cruise control le-
ver.
Only increase the speed if the current situa-
tion is appropriate to do so. Sudden acceler-
ation could otherwise endanger you and
others.
i
Cruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. If you ac-
celerate briefly to overtake, for exam-
ple, cruise control adjusts the vehicle’s
speed to the last speed stored after you
have finished overtaking.

you switch off the engine.
