WARNING

-
- Always pay attention to traffic even when
the cruise control is sw itched on. You are al-
ways respons ible for your speed and the dis-
tance between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
- For safety reasons, the cru ise 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 temporar ily 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 acceleration.
- If a brake system ma lfunction 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 indicator light
