WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic around
you when the cruise control is in operation .
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 twisting roads and when road condi-
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy ra in and hydroplaning) - risk of acci-
dent.
- Turn off the cruise control temporar ily when
enter ing turn lanes, highway exit lanes or in
construction zones.
- Please note that inadvertently "rest ing"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
the cruise control not to brake. This is be-
cause the cruise control is overridden by the
dr iver's acceleration.
- If a brake system malfunction such as over-
heating occurs when the cruise contro l sys-
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off . The other
cruise contro l functions remain active as
long as the indicator light

currently engaged will allow it, or if it does
not tax the engine and allows it to run

lower gear in a timely manner.
- The brake lights illuminate as soon as the
brakes apply automatically .
