this speed.
The cruise control is activated using the
right control lever.

Pressing the button on the control lever
once or pushing the brake pedal will im
mediately deactivate the cruise control
function and activate the limiter func
tion.

The cruise control is intended
solely as an aid to easier driving. You
are responsible for the vehicle's speed
and for braking in good time.
Cruise control is unable to take account
of the road and traffic conditions. Do
not use cruise control:
in road and traffic conditions which
do not allow you to maintain a con
stant speed (e.g. heavy traffic or
winding roads). You could otherwise
cause an accident.
on slippery roads. The drive wheels
could lose traction when braking or
accelerating and the vehicle could
skid.

e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or snow.
