Cruise control system

Introduction

The cruise control system helps to

maintain a set speed.

Speed range

The cruise control system is available at speeds above approximately 20 km/h (approximately 15 mph) when driving forward.

Driving with the Cruise Control System

You can override the stored speed at any time, for example, to pass another vehicle. The regulation function is paused while the vehicle accelerates and then

resumes the stored speed.

Displays

If the cruise control system is switched on, the instrument cluster display indicates the saved speed and the status of the cruise control system.

The following indicator lights may turn on depending on the driving situation and the instrument cluster version:

If the cruise control system is not regulating the speed, the indicator lights are small or grey.

If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows

instead of the speed.

Driving downhill

The vehicle cannot maintain the saved speed in all driving situations. Always be ready to apply the brakes.

1. Downshift before traveling downhill for extended periods.

This will enable you to utilize the engine braking effect and reduce the load on the brakes.

WARNING

If it is not possible to drive safely with enough distance and a constant speed, using the cruise control system may cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc conditions. The driver is always

responsible for the speed.

Never use the cruise control system when visibility is poor, when there is not enough distance, or when roads are steep, winding, ﬂooded, or slippery, for

example from snow, ice, moisture, or gravel.

Never use the cruise control system when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.
