It is recommended that you read all sections in the Owner’s Manual that relate to a function in order to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.

| Brief description | The driver controls the speed with the accelerator pedal but is prevented by the speed limiter from mistakenly exceeding a preselected/preset maximum speed. | The automatic speed limiter uses speed information from the Road Sign Information function to automatically adapt the maximum speed of the car. | The cruise control helps the driver to maintain an even speed, which can result in a more relaxed driving experience on, for example, motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows. | The adaptive cruise control helps the driver to maintain an even speed combined with a pre-selected time interval to the vehicle ahead. | Pilot Assist can help the driver to drive the car between the lane’s side markings using steering assistance as well as to maintain an even speed, combined with a preselected time interval to the vehicle ahead. |
The cruise control functions can be controlled using the left-hand steering wheel keypad. This is applicable to the speed limiter (SL), automatic speed limiter (ASL), cruise control (CC), adaptive cruise control (ACC) and Pilot Assist.

Warning
- The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner’s Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Selecting and activating cruise control functions
The cruise control functions have to be selected in the centre display first before they can be activated using a steering wheel button. This is applicable to the speed limiter (SL), automatic speed limiter (ASL), cruise control (CC), adaptive cruise control (ACC) and Pilot Assist.
Press the steering wheel button
- Speed limiter:
- Cruise control:
- Adaptive cruise control:
- Pilot Assist:
The symbol in the driver display is grey – the function is selected.
- When a function is selected – press the steering wheel button
- The symbol in the driver display lights up – the function is started and the current speed is stored as the maximum speed.
- If the function is set to standby mode – press the steering wheel button
The driver display’s cruise control markings light up – the car then continues to follow the last speed stored.
Toggling between the speed limiter and the automatic speed limiter
The automatic speed limiter can be activated and deactivated as a supplement to the speed limiter.
Activate or deactivate the function using this button in the centre display’s function view.
- Illuminated button – the function is activated. Press the steering wheel button
- Extinguished button – the function is deactivated. Normal speed limiter is activated instead.
Criteria
Certain criteria have to be met to be able to start any of the functions.
Speed limiter and automatic speed limiter
- The speed limiter cannot be activated until after the engine has been started.
- The lowest maximum speed that can be stored is 30 km/h (20 mph).
Cruise control
- In order to start the cruise control from the standby mode, the car’s current speed must be 30 km/h (20 mph) or higher.
Adaptive cruise control
- The driver’s seatbelt must be buckled and the driver’s door must be closed.
- There must be a vehicle (the “target vehicle”) within reasonable distance in front of the car, or the current speed must be at least 15 km/h (9 mph).
Pilot Assist
- The driver’s seatbelt must be buckled and the driver’s door must be closed.
- The lane’s edge markings must be clear and must be detected by the car.
- There must be a vehicle (the “target vehicle”) within reasonable distance in front of the car, or the current speed must be at least 15 km/h (9 mph).
- The speed must not exceed 140 km/h (87 mph).
- The driver must keep his/her hands on the steering wheel.
Deactivating cruise control functions
The cruise control functions can be deactivated using a button on the steering wheel. The function then switches to standby mode. This is applicable to the speed limiter (SL), automatic speed limiter (ASL), cruise control (CC), adaptive cruise control (ACC) and Pilot Assist.
- Press the steering wheel button
The symbol and indicators in the driver display are extinguished – the selected cruise control function is set in standby mode.
When a different function is selected using the steering wheel buttons, the driver display’s symbol and the indicator for a previously selected function are hidden – the set/stored max. speed is then deleted.
Warning
When the cruise control functions are in standby mode, the driver must intervene and regulate both speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
