The cruise control system only slows the vehicle by easing off the accelerator, not through braking intervention
WARNING
The use of the Cruise Control System can lead to accidents and serious injuries if traffic does not allow you to drive at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front at a constant speed.
Never use the cruise control system in heavy traffic, when there is insufficient distance from the vehicle in front, on steep or winding roads,
on slippery road surfaces, e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads or loose chippings, or on flooded roads.
Never use the cruise control system when driving off-road or on unsurfaced roads.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Always switch off the cruise control system after use to avoid unintentional speed regulation.
It is dangerous to use a set speed that is too high for the prevailing road, traffic or weather conditions.
When travelling down hills, the cruise control system cannot maintain a constant speed. The vehicle speed can increase under its own
weight. Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using the foot brake.
