Cruise Control
Overview
WARNING: Pay particular attention to road and traffic conditions, when cruise control is activated, and always travel at a speed which is safe for the current conditions.
Never use cruise control on winding or slippery roads or when visibility is poor, e.g. in fog, heavy rain or snow.
Cruise control allows the driver to maintain a constant speed without using the accelerator pedal. This is useful on motorway journeys where a constant speed can be maintained for long periods.
All cruise control functions are operated by the cruise control stalk, positioned on the right of the steering column.
Using cruise control 
Accelerate to the desired speed and push the stalk up briefly, to activate cruise control. The set speed will appear on the Folding Driver Display.
NOTE: Cruise control will only operate at speeds in excess of 20 mph (30 km/h).
Speed can be increased at any time by pressing the accelerator pedal. Once the accelerator pedal is released the vehicle will return to the cruise control speed.
WARNING: Always be aware that cruise control is engaged and do not override cruise control for extended periods. Releasing the accelerator in these circumstances could lead to the vehicle not decelerating at the rate you expect.
Cancelling cruise control 
Briefly press the cruise control stalk away from you.
Cruise control is cancelled. The indicator on the Folding Driver Display extinguishes but the last speed set remains stored.
NOTE: The last speed stored is cleared when you switch off the engine.
Cruise control is also cancelled if the foot brake is pressed, if neutral is selected or if active speed limiter is selected.
NOTE: Cruise control is cancelled automatically if electronic stability control detects wheel spin, vehicle skid or if electronic stability control is switched off.
Increasing cruise control speed
- A brief press of the stalk upwards will increase the vehicle speed in 1 mph (1 km/h) increments (depending on the units selected, see Distance & Speed unit, );
or press and hold the stalk upwards until the desired speed is reached, then release the stalk;
or accelerate to the new desired speed and push the stalk up. - Reducing cruise control speed
A brief press of the stalk downwards will decrease the vehicle speed in 1 mph (1 km/h) decrements (depending on the units selected, see Distance & Speed unit,);
or press and hold the stalk downwards, the vehicle will decelerate, release the stalk when the desired speed has been reached.
NOTE: If you decelerate using the cruise control stalk, the gearbox may shift down to increase the rate of deceleration.
Downshifting manually using the gear change paddles will not disengage cruise control.
Resuming a stored speed
WARNING: Only resume the stored speed if it is appropriate for the current road and traffic conditions. Sudden acceleration could endanger yourself and others.
Pull the cruise control stalk briefly towards you.
Cruise control will adjust the vehicle’s speed to the last speed stored.
