NOTICE!
If your vehicle has a steering wheel lock, make sure that it is not activated
when the key is in the ignition or a gear is selected.
The cruise control is equipped with numerous safety features to switch it off if any of
the following situations arise:
• The brake is applied hard
• Pressing the clutch pedal
• Pressing the accelerator and brake pedal at the same time (savior function)
• The ON/OFF button on the control element is pressed
• The engine overspeeds
• Braking to 50 % of the set speed
• Accelerating to 150 % of the set speed
• Increases the engine speed by 150 %
• Decreases the engine speed by 75 %
• The ignition is switched off
I
NOTE
If MagicSpeed ever fails to react to one of these occurrences, you can
always switch off the ignition.
The cruise control also switches off if there are problems with the brake lights, such
as:
• Defective brake lights
• A defective fuse
• A loose connection to the brake light switch
In an emergency (e.g. accelerator sticks), you can use the savior function. It is
activated by pressing the accelerator and the brake pedal at the same time. It is
deactivated when the brake pedal is released. The savior function switches the
accelerator to idle electronically, it does not apply the brake. Therefore, keep the
brake pedal pressed down until the vehicle stops.
To guarantee safe and economical operation, never use the cruise control in
congested traffic or on wet, slippery roads.
