Setting a speed
WARNING 
Keep in mind that it may take a brief moment
until the vehicle has made the necessary
adjustments.
Increase or decrease the set vehicle speed to
a value that the prevailing road conditions and
legal speed limits permit. Otherwise, sudden
and unexpected acceleration or deceleration
of the vehicle could cause an accident and/or serious injury to you and others.
► Press the cruise control lever to the
pressure point, up 1 for a higher speed or
down 2 for a lower speed.
► Keep the cruise control lever pressed
until
the desired speed is reached.
► Release the cruise control lever.
The new speed is stored.
Cruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. For example, if you accelerate briefly to
overtake, cruise control adjusts the
vehicle's speed to the last speed stored
after you have finished overtaking.
