Driving

Adjusting desired speed

Adjust your desired speed to the traffic
conditions and remain ready to brake at

all times, otherwise there is a risk of accident.
Great differences in speed to the vehicle ahead,
e.g. when quickly approaching a truck or when
another vehicle swerves into your lane, cannot
be compensated for by the system.

Increasing in increments

Repeatedly tap the lever to the resistance point
or beyond, arrow

1, until the desired speed is

reached.

Each time the lever is tapped to the resis-
tance point, the desired speed is increased
by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.

Each time the lever is tapped beyond the
resistance point, the desired speed is
increased by up to 5 mph or 10 km/h until
the maximum speed of 110 mph or
180 km/h is achieved.

The speed then displayed is stored and
achieved on a clear road.

Increasing continuously

Repeatedly press the lever to the resistance
point or beyond, arrow

1, until the desired

speed is reached.
The speed then displayed is stored and
reached as soon as the road ahead of you is
clear.

Decreasing in increments

Repeatedly pull the lever to the resistance point
or beyond, arrow

2, until the desired speed is

reached.

Each time the lever is pulled to the resis-
tance point, the desired speed is decreased
by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.

Each time the lever is pulled beyond the
resistance point, the desired speed is
reduced by up to 5 mph or 10 km/h until the
minimum speed of 20 mph or 30 km/h is
achieved.

The speed then displayed is stored and
achieved on a clear road.
