Controls in detail Driving systems Driving systems The cruise control driving system of your vehicle is described on the following pages. The BAS, ABS and ESP driving systems are described in the "Safety and Security" section ( page 73). Cruise control Cruise control automatically maintains the speed you set for your vehicle. Use of cruise control is recommended for driving at a constant speed for extended periods of time. You can set any speed over 20 mph (30 km/h). The cruise control function is operated by means of the cruise control lever. The cruise control lever is the uppermost lever found on the left-hand side of the steering column ( page 24). Warning! G Cruise control is a convenience system designed to assist the driver during vehicle operation. The driver is and must remain at all times responsible for the vehicle speed and for safe brake operation. Only use cruise control if the road, traffic and weather conditions make it advisable to travel at a steady speed. The use of cruise control can be dangerous on winding roads or in heavy traffic because conditions do not allow safe driving at a steady speed. The use of cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. Rapid changes in tire traction can result in wheel spin and loss of control. Deactivate cruise control when driving in fog. The "Resume" function should only be operated if the driver is fully aware of the previously set speed and wishes to resume this particular preset speed. 193
