Important Safety Instructions and Warnings: Cruise Control
► Always pay attention to the traffic around you when the Cruise Control 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 due to the control
system being overridden by the driver's acceleration.
► 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 indicator light is on.
► You should only return to the saved speed if it is not too fast for the current traffic conditions - risk of an accident!
