A
WARNING
-
- Always pay attent ion to traffic even when
the cruise control is switched on. You are
always responsible for your speed and
the distance between your veh icle and
other veh icles.
- For safety reasons, the cruise contro l
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-
plan ing) - risk of accident .
- Turn off the cruise control temporarily
when entering turn lanes, highway exit
lanes or in constr uction zones .
- Please note that inadve rt ently "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
the cruise control not to brake. This is
because the cruise control is overridden
by the driver's acceleration.
- If a brake system malfunction such as
overheating occurs when the cruise con-
trol system is switched on, the braking
function in the system may be sw itched
off. The other cruise control functions re-
main act ive as long as the indicator light
