A
WARNING
-
Always
pay attention
to
the traffic around
you when the cruise control
is
in operation.
You are always responsible for your speed
and the distance between your vehicle and
other vehicles.
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 ra in and hydroplaning) -
risk
of acci-
dent
.
- Turn off the cruise control temporarily when
entering
turn
lanes
,
highway exit
lanes or
in
construction
zones
.
- Please note that inadvertently "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
the cruise
control
not to brake.
This
is be-
cause the cruise
control is
overridden by
the
driver's
acce le rat ion.
- 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 ind icator
light
til;rnM4
(US mod-
els)
tl'I
(Canadian models) is on.

Tips
The brake
lights illuminate
as soon as the
