One lever for all functions

1 Maintaining and storing speed,
accelerating

Press the lever as far as the resistance
point:
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed. Every time you briefly
press the lever, the vehicle's speed
increases by roughly 1 mph/1 km/h.

Press the lever longer:
The vehicle accelerates without pressure
on the accelerator pedal. The system main-
tains and stores your current speed as
soon as you release the lever.

The vehicle may accelerate beyond
the preset speed on steep downhill

alone may not be sufficient to slow the

decelerating

Pull lever back to resistance point:
The system maintains and stores the cur-

reduced, slowing the vehicle. The system
maintains and stores your current speed as
soon as you release the lever.
