Warning!
The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during vehicle
operation. The driver is and must always
remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed
and for safe brake operation.
Only use the cruise control if the road, traf-
fic, and weather conditions make it advisa-
ble to travel at a constant speed.
R
The use of the cruise control can be dan-
gerous on winding roads or in heavy traf-
fic because conditions do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
R
The use of the cruise control can be dan-
gerous on slippery roads. Rapid changes
