De-activating the system
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the
system is de-activated and the desired
speed stored in the memory is deleted.
1 Memorising and increasing the
desired speed
Press the lever forwards:
Your momentary road speed is adopted as
your desired speed, and memorised. The
speedometer displays this speed.
If the lever is pressed forwards a further
time, the desired speed is increased to the
nearest 5-mile step.
Each subsequent time the lever is pressed
forward, the desired speed increases by
5 mph up to a maximum of 110 mph.
Press the lever forwards and hold it
pressed:
The desired speed runs up in increments of
5 mph until you release the lever. The
speed that is then shown is memorised and
will be achieved on a clear road.
2 Memorising and reducing the
desired speed
Pull the lever back:
Your momentary road speed is rounded
down to the nearest five miles, displayed
and memorised.
Each subsequent time the lever is pulled
back, the desired speed decreases by
5 mph down to a minimum of 20 mph.
Pull the lever back and hold it pulled:
The desired speed is reduced by the
system in increments of 5 mph until you
release the lever. The speed that is then
shown is memorised and will be achieved
on a clear road.
3 Interrupting the system
When the system is active, press the lever
up or down. The displays in the speedom-
eter go out. You can use the system again
when required.
In addition, you interrupt the system auto-
matically:
> When braking
> When you engage transmission position
N (neutral) of the automatic transmission
> If you switch off the Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC)
> If you operate the parking brake while
the car is moving
> If the system reduces the car's speed to
below 20 mph in view of the traffic condi-
tions.
The system is shut down automati-
cally if the car's speed is regulated
down to less than 20 mph. A gong sounds
and a message appears in the Check
Control. The driver's active intervention is
required.<
Background lighting
You can switch off the background lighting
of the speedometer and revolution counter
when the system is interrupted if no other
functions are displayed, e.g. the advance
warning field in the revolution counter, see
page 76, or route guidance for the naviga-
tion system.
To do this, press the lever up or down for
approx. 1 second.

speed

The displays appear in the speedometer.
4 Fine adjustment of desired speed

is pressed briefly, the desired speed is
