ț when the automatic transmission is set
to position P, R, or N
ț if the ESP ® is switched off
ț if the ESP ® has switched off due to a

Warning!
G
The cruise control brakes automatically so
that the set speed is not exceeded. The
brake pedal depresses automatically when
the cruise control engages the brakes.
Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times,
including the area under the brake pedal.
Objects stored in this area may impair pedal
movement which could interfere with the
braking ability of the cruise control system.
Do not place your foot under the brake pedal
– your foot could become caught.
Keep in mind that the cruise control is a
convenience system designed to assist the
driver during vehicle operation. The driver is
and must always remain responsible for
the vehicle’s speed and for safe brake
operation.
i The vehicle speed displayed in the speedo-
meter can briefly vary from the speed setting for
the cruise control system.
