Driving Capacity approx. 6.3 US quarts/6 liters. Maintaining current speed Briefly press, arrow 1, or briefly pull, arrow 2 lever. The speed currently being driven is stored and maintained. It is indicated on the speedometer and briefly in the instrument panel. The controlled speed can drop on uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient. If the engine braking effect is not sufficient on a downhill grade, the system lightly brakes the vehicle. Cruise control* The concept The cruise control with a braking function is available for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/ 30 km/h and higher. The vehicle stores and maintains the speed that you set using the lever mounted on the steering column. To keep the specified speed constant, the system brakes if the engine braking effect is not sufficient on a downhill grade. Do not use the cruise control under driving conditions that do not permit a constant speed, e.g. when driving on winding roads, in heavy traffic or in poor road conditions such as snow, rain, ice, and loose road surface. Otherwise you could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.< Increasing speed Repeatedly press the lever up to or beyond the resistance point, arrow 1, until the desired speed is set. > Each time the lever is pressed to the resistance point, the speed is increased by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h. > Each time the lever is pressed beyond the resistance point, the desired speed increases by a maximum of 5 mph or 10 km/h. The system stores the setting and maintains the set speed. One lever for all functions Accelerating with lever Accelerate slightly: Press the lever up to the resistance point, arrow 1, until the desired speed is reached. Accelerate more rapidly: Press the lever beyond the resistance point, arrow 1, until the desired speed is reached. The vehicle accelerates without pressure on the accelerator pedal. The system stores the setting and maintains the set speed. 1 2 3 4 Storing speed and maintaining or increasing Storing speed and maintaining or decreasing Deactivating cruise control Resuming stored speed Reducing speed Repeatedly pull the lever up to the resistance point or beyond, arrow 2, until the desired speed is displayed. > Each time the lever is pulled up to the resistance point, the desired speed decreases by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h. 66 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 015 021 - © 11/07 BMW AG
