Warning!
The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during vehicle
operation. The driver is and must always
remain responsible for the vehicle's speed
and for safe brake operation.
Only use the cruise control if the road, traffic,
and weather conditions make it advisable to
travel at a constant speed.
The use of the cruise control can be
R
dangerous on winding roads or in heavy
traffic because conditions do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
The use of the cruise control can be

dangerous on slippery roads. Rapid
changes in tire traction can result in wheel
spin and loss of control.
Deactivate the cruise control when driving
R
in fog.
The "Resume" function should only be
operated if the driver is fully aware of the
previously set speed and wishes to resume
this particular preset speed.
