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 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 PLUS is activated and adjusts the vehicle's speed to the new speed stored.
