Increasing desired speed
Tap the lever repeatedly 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 to the next multiple of 5 mph or
10 km/h until a maximum of 110 mph or
180 km
⁄h is reached.
The system stores and maintains the speed.
Accelerating using the lever
Accelerating slightly:
Press the lever to the resistance point, arrow

until the desired speed is reached.
Accelerating significantly:
Press the lever beyond the resistance point,
arrow

The vehicle accelerates without pressure on
the accelerator pedal. The system stores and
maintains the speed.
Decreasing desired speed
Pull the lever repeatedly 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 back beyond
the resistance point, the desired speed is
decreased to the next multiple of 5 mph or
10 km/h until the minimum speed of
20 mph/30 km/h is reached.
The system stores and maintains the speed.
If the speed is to be reduced significantly,
press the brake pedal; otherwise, decel-
eration may be insufficient and dangerous situ-
ations could result.
