WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic around
you when the cruise control system is in operation.
You are always responsible for your speed and the distance between your vehicle and other vehicles.
- For safety reasons, cruise control should not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on winding roads and when road conditions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplaning), because this increases the risk of an accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily when driving in turning lanes, highway exits or in construction zones.
- Please note that unconsciously "resting" your foot on the accelerator pedal prevents the cruise control from braking. This is because pressing the accelerator pedal overrides the cruise control system.
- If a brake system malfunction such as overheating
occurs when the cruise control system
is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off. The rest of
the cruise control system functions remain
active as long as the

Tips
