Setting a speed
WARNING 
Keep in mind that it may take a brief moment
until the vehicle has made the necessary
adjustments.
Increase or decrease the set vehicle speed to
a value that the prevailing road conditions and
legal speed limits permit. Otherwise, sudden
and unexpected acceleration or deceleration
of the vehicle could cause an accident and/or serious injury to you and others.
► Press the cruise control lever to the
pressure point, up 1 for a higher speed or
down 2 for a lower speed.
► Keep the cruise control lever pressed
until
the desired speed is reached.
► Release the cruise control lever.
The new speed is stored. DISTRONIC is activated and adjusts the vehicle's speed to the new speed stored.
