WARNING
Smart Cruise Control system Lim-
itations
The Smart Cruise Control system is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience func-
tion only.
It is the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit in your
country.
If the Smart Cruise Control is left
on, (cruise indicator in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the
Smart Cruise Control can be acti-
vated unintentionally. Keep the
Smart Cruise Control system off
(cruise indicator off) when the
Smart Cruise Control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
Use the Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the Smart Cruise Con-
trol when it may not be safe to
keep the car at a constant speed.
For instance.
- When driving in heavy traffic or
when traffic conditions make it
