Setting the sensitivity
➤ To save the set sensitivity values, press the brake.
✓ If the INIT value is changed, the speed regulator calculates the optimum
GAIN value and deletes the previous value in the control element.
Normally, no more settings on the control element are required. Therefore,
quit setup mode and test the speed controller in normal operation.
➤ If the speed regulator works too slowly or too suddenly in control mode,
you must make the GAIN setting manually (see "Setting the control sen-
sitivity manually (GAIN mode)" on page 22).

Setting the control sensitivity manually
(GAIN mode)
The GAIN value must be increased if the vehicle slows down when the
cruise control is activated or if it reacts too slowly, for example excess loss of
speed driving uphill or excess acceleration driving downhill.
The GAIN value must be decreased if the vehicle speeds up when the cruise
control is activated or if it works too suddenly.
Example: You set a speed of 70 km/h and the vehicle's speed fluctuates
between 65 and 75 km/h during control mode. Normally the GAIN value
ensures that the cruise control operates smoothly in control mode.
To alter the GAIN value, proceed as follows:
➤ Start setup mode ("Starting setup mode" on page 19).
➤ Apply the brake and hold it down.
➤ With the brake applied, press the RES button four times.
✓ You will hear four low-pitched signals.
➤ Release the brake.
✓ You will hear four acoustic signals.
➤ Start the engine.
➤ Drive the vehicle at any speed above the activation speed (40 km/h) to set
the GAIN value.
➤ Press the SET button.
✓ The cruise control switches itself on.
➤ Press the SET button again to increase the GAIN value or
