2. Description of the Cruise Control Functions
2.1 Switching On the Cruise Control Function
•
Accelerate to the desired speed.
•
Push the selector switch towards described position (see table,
page 24) and release. und loslassen.
Pedal Interface II stores the vehicle's current speed and maintains it
without the accelerator pedal's being pressed.
2.2 Overriding the Set Speed by Means of the Throttle Pedal
Even when the cruise control function is active, the vehicle can be acce-
lerated up to a higher speed by pressing the accelerator pedal..
When you override the cruis control by increasing
the vehicle's speed with the accelerator pedal,
there is a risk of forgetting that this function is still swit-
ched on. This applies especially if you maintain a higher
speed with the accelerator pedal for a long time.
For this reason, switch off the cruise control function if you
wish to drive faster for an extended period.
2.3 Increasing or Reducing the Set Speed
By holding the control switch towards the described position (see table,
page 24), the set speed will also be pemanently increased or decreased
until the selector switch is released. The current speed at the time of the
release is stored as set speed.
