WARNING
•
Always pay attention to traffic even when the cruise control is
switched on. You are always responsible for your speed and the
distance between your vehicle and other vehicles.
•
For safety reasons, the cruise control should not be used in the
city, in stop-and-go traffic, on twisting roads and when road
conditions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydro-
planing ) - risk of accident.
•
Turn off the cruise control temporarily when entering turn
lanes, highway exit lane s or in construction zones.
•
Please note that inadvertently "resting" your foot on the accel-
erator pedal causes the cruise control not to brake. This is because
the cruise control is overridden by the driver 's acceleration .
