WARNING
-
- Always pay attent ion to traffic even when
the cruise control is switched on . You are
always responsib le for your speed and
the distance between your veh icle and
other veh icles .
- For safety reasons, the cruise cont ro l
should not be used in t he city, in stop-
a nd -go t raffi c, on twisting roads and
when road con dit ions are poor (such as
ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydro -
pla ning) - risk of accident .
- Turn off the cruise contro l temporarily
when entering turn la nes , highway exit
lanes or in constr uction zones .
- Please note that inadve rtently "res t ing"
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 s uch 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 indicato r light
