Cruise control 3

125 mph (200 km/h). Deviation from the
stored speed may occur when driving up or
downhill.

Cruise control is operated with
buttons m,

signal stalk.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not
advisable to maintain a constant speed
(e.g. in situations presenting a danger to
yourself and other road users, in heavy
traffic or on winding, slippery or greasy
roads).
