A
WARNING
- Always pay attention to traffic even when
the cruise control is switched on. You are
always responsible for your speed and
the distance between your veh icle and
other veh icles .
- For safety reasons, the cruise control
should not be used in the city, in stop-
and-go traffic, on twisting roads and
when road conditions are poor (such as
ice, fog , gravel, heavy rain and hydro-
planing) - risk of accident.
- Turn off the cruise control temporarily
when en t er ing turn lanes, highway exit
lanes or in construction zones .
- Please note that inadvertently "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
the cruise control not to brake. This is
because the cruise control is overridden
by the driver's acceleration.
- Never use the cruise control when driving
off-road or on unpaved roads. The cruise
control is intended for use only when the
vehicle is being operated on paved roads,
and is not suitable for use off-road or on
unpaved roads .

Tips
The cruise control cannot maintain a con-
stant speed when driving downhill. The ve-
hicle will accelerate under its own weight .
Downshift to a lower gear or use the
brakes to slow down.
Changing speed
.,. To increase/decrease
the speed in incre-
ments, tap the lever in the
