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 veh icles.
- For reasons of safety, cru ise control
should not be used in the city, in stop-
and-go traff ic, on twisting roads and
when road conditions are poor (such as
ice, fog , gravel, heavy rain and hydro-
planing) -you could have an accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporar ily
when driving in turning lanes, highway
exits or in constr uction zones.
- Please note that unconsciously "resting''
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
cruise control not to brake. This is due to
the control system being overridden by
the dr iver's acceleration.
- Never use the cruise control when driving
off-road or on unpaved roads. The cruise
contro l is intended for use only when the
vehicle is being operated on paved roads,
and is not suitable for use off-road or on
unpaved roads.
- 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 switched
off. The other cruise control function s re-
main active as long as the indicator light
cijj(l)~i~
