Driving
- For reasons of safety, cruise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf-
fic, on twisting roads and when road condi-
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy rain and hydroplaning) - you could
have an accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones.
- Please note that unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
cruise control not to brake . This is due to
the control system being 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 ve-
hicle is being operated on paved roads, and
is not suitable for use off-road or on un-
paved roads.
- If a brake system malfunction such as over-
heating occurs when the cruise control sys-
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off. The other
cruise control functions remain active as
long as the indicator light
tii;(O~i4

el)/lil
(Canadian model) is on .
