Cruise control functions
There are several driver support systems that can assist you while driving in order to maintain a suitable speed depending on situation. Here is a summary to make them more easily distinguishable from each other.
It is recommended that you read all sections in the 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 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. |
