Programmable cruise control The concept The programmable cruise control is available for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h and higher. The vehicle maintains and stores the speed that you set using the lever mounted on the steering column. You can also use the multilevel preset mode to store six desired speeds for later selection with the lever, refer to page 67. This feature assists you in quickly adapting the vehicle speed to specific road conditions, e.g. changes in speeds limits. Do not use the programmable cruise control when unfavorable conditions do not permit you to drive at a constant speed, e.g. when driving on winding roads, in heavy traffic or under poor road conditions such as snow, rain, ice, or a loose road surface. If you do, you could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.< Push the lever to the resistance point for a longer time: The vehicle accelerates without pressure on the accelerator pedal. The system maintains and stores your current speed as soon as you release the lever. Press the lever past the resistance point if no desired speeds 6 are stored: The pointer 5 jumps to the next multiple of 5 mph or 10 km/h and then further, as long as the lever is held. The speed then indicated is reached and stored. The vehicle may accelerate beyond the preset speed on steep downhill stretches where the engine's braking action alone may not be sufficient to slow the vehicle. Speed can drop on uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient. 67 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 013 316 - © 02/07 BMW AG Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment Press lever to resistance point, arrow 1: The system maintains and stores the current vehicle speed.
