WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic around
you when the cruise control is in operat ion.
You are always responsib le for your speed
and the distance between your vehicle and
other vehicles .
- For reasons of safety, cru ise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf-
fic, on winding roads and when road condi-
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, grave l,
heavy ra in and hydroplan ing) -yo u could
have an acc iden t .
- Switch the cruise cont rol off temporar ily
when d riving in t urn ing lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones .
- Please note t ha t unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal prevents
the cruise control from braking. This is due
to the control system being overridden by
the d river's acceleration.
- If a brake sys t em ma lfunction such as over -
heating occurs when the cruise control sys-
tem is sw itched on, the braking function in
the system may be sw itched off. The rest of
the cruise control system functions remain
active as long as the
