Cruise control (CC) – engaging and setting speed
Cruise control is designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed. It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on highways and other main roads.
Engaging the cruise control function
Before a speed can be set, the cruise control system must be engaged (put in standby mode).
Press the CRUISE button (1).
The symbol illuminates and the text (---) mph (5) indicates that cruise control is in standby mode.
Note
Putting cruise control in standby mode does not set a cruising speed.
Setting a speed
Use the or buttons set the vehicle's current speed. The set speed is shown in the display.
Note
Cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h).
Adjusting the set speed
After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by using the or buttons.
Press or briefly and release the button to increase or decrease vehicle speed by approximately 1 mph or 1 km/h.
This will become the set speed when the button is released.
Press and hold one of these buttons to increase/decrease the speed in 1-mph or 1-km/h increments. Release the button when you have reached the desired speed.
Note
- A temporary increase in speed by pressing the accelerator pedal, for less than 1 minute (e.g. when passing another car), does not affect the current cruise control setting. The vehicle will automatically return to the previously set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
- If one of the cruise control buttons is kept depressed for more than approx. 1 minute cruise control is disengaged. The engine must then be switched off in order to reset cruise control.
