Cruise control (CC1) can be deactivated and put in standby mode. This may happen automatically or be due to driver intervention. Standby mode means that the function is selected in the instrument panel but not activated. In standby mode, cruise control will not regulate speed.

Standby Mode Due to Driver Action

Cruise control will be deactivated and put in standby mode if any of the following occurs:

  • The brakes are applied.
  • The gear selector is moved to N.
  • The vehicle travels faster than the set speed for more than 1 minute.

The driver must then monitor the vehicle's speed.

Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, for example when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic Backup Mode

The function may automatically switch to standby mode if one of the following occurs:

  • The wheels lose traction.
  • Engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
  • The temperature in the brake system becomes too high.
  • Vehicle speed is below 30 km/h.

The driver must then monitor the vehicle's speed.
