ON/OFF-button
Cruise control is switched on by pressing the ON/OFF button once. The LED lights up as
confirmation.
If cruise control is switched on, it is switched off by pressing the ON/OFF switch once.
The LED goes out as confirmation.
SET button
1. Setting of the currently driven speed if the SET button is pressed and released again
immediately. This desired speed is then maintained until:
a) the brake- or the clutch pedal is depressed
b) the unit is switched off via the ON/OFF button
c) the speed of the vehicle is below the lower switch-on speed
d) the speed decelerates by more than approx. 25 % when going down a hill.
2. If the "SET" button is pressed and held down, the vehicle will accelerate. When the
button is released, cruise control will store the speed that has been attained and will
maintain that speed.
RES button
If the "RES" button is pressed and immediately released, the last speed that was stored
is re-entered, provided that:
a) the unit is switched on via the ON/OFF button;
b) the speed of your vehicle is not below the minimum speed;
c) the brake or clutch pedal is not depressed;
d) the ignition has not been switched off in the meantime;
e) the current speed is not less than 50 % of the stored value.
Accelerating and decelerating
When cruise control is activated, you can also make fine adjustments. If you press the
"SET" button once, the speed increases by approx. 1.5 km/h. If you press the "RES"
button once, the speed decreases by approx. 1.5 km/h. This function allows you to adjust
the speed of your vehicle to the traffic flow or to a speed limit. The cruise control has a
memory to store the number of times the buttons have been pressed. For example: If you
press the "SET" button three times or the "RES" button five times, the cruise control will
accelerate or brake the vehicle by approx. 4.5 km/h or 7.5 km/h respectively.
Note:If you want to reduce the speed of your vehicle considerably, do not use
the "RES" button. Use the "OFF" switch, the brake or the clutch instead, and
then set the new speed using the SET button.
