CRUISE CONTROL

The manual cruise control is designed to relieve the legs (allow them to relax) during long trips and automatically maintains any selected speed above 35 km/h, within the limits of engine power.
Do not use the cruise control in heavy traffic or in poor road conditions (ice, gravel, wet road, etc.). With the cruise control engaged and speed above 30 km/h, do not shift to neutral without depressing the clutch pedal! The engine speed will increase sharply and may be damaged.
Manual cruise control is operated by step switch “A” and button “B”, located on the turn signal and headlight switch lever.
To activate, move step switch “A” to position “EIN”.
When the vehicle reaches the required speed, briefly press button “B”, and you can release the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle maintains the required speed without the accelerator pedal.
To do this, press button “B” and hold it until the required speed is reached.
This can also be done with the accelerator pedal, after which the speed will be maintained at the set level by the cruise control. Temporary deactivation occurs automatically when the brake or clutch pedal is pressed. It can also be done manually by moving step switch “A” to position “AUS” only partially.
To resume the set speed, perform the same actions in reverse order, moving the switch to position “AUFN” until it stops.
The resume mode may be used only if the set speed corresponds to actual road conditions and is not too high for them.
To switch the system off completely, move step switch “A” fully to the right (position “AUS”) or switch off the ignition.
