Cruise control regulates the speed to the value selected by the driver.
If you accelerate to overtake, for example, the stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal after overtaking, cruise control will resume speed regulation back to the stored speed.
You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the maximum design speed, up to the speed recommended by range monitoring or up to the set winter tyre limit. The speed recommended by range monitoring can be overridden by the driver.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers More.
(grey): cruise control is selected but not yet active, or temporarily passive.
(green): cruise control is active.
A stored speed appears under the display and is indicated in the speedometer.
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Increase recuperation in good time on long and steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of this when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you will make use of the electric motor's braking effect to charge the high-voltage battery. This relieves the load on the brake system and prevents the brakes from overheating and wearing too quickly.
In traffic situations which require frequent changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on winding roads.
On slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid.
If you are driving when visibility is poor.
