Cruise Control (For some types)
Cruise control allows you to maintain
a set speed above 40 km/h (25 mph)
without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. It should be used
for cruising on straight, open
motorways. It is not recommended
for city driving, winding roads,
slippery roads, heavy rain, or bad
weather.
Improper use of the cruise
control can lead to a crash.
Use the cruise control only
when travelling on open
motorways in good weather.
