Switching off the system
Push the lever up or down, see arrow 3.
The indicators on the speedometer will go out.
In addition, the system switches off automatically:
► when you brake;
► when (manual transmission) you delay shifting gears or shift to neutral;
► when (automatic transmission) you move the selector lever to position N;
► when you switch off DTC or DSC;
► when the DSC system intervenes.
When you press the accelerator, the cruise control system does not switch off. After the accelerator pedal is released, the system resumes the stored speed.
Warning Lamp
The warning lamp illuminates when the cruise control system switches off automatically due to braking with the parking brake or intervention by DSC.
