Notes:

If the engine does not brake the vehicle
sufficiently while driving on a
downgrade, the speed you set on the
cruise control may be exceeded and
you may have to step on the brake
pedal to slow down. As soon as the
grade eases, the cruise controlled speed
will again be maintained as long as the
brakes were not previously applied, or
the lever may be used to resume the
previously set speed if the brakes were
applied.

Important!

Moving gear selector lever to position
"N" switches the cruise control off.

Warning!

Only use the cruise control if the

traffic and weather conditions make

it advisable to travel at a steady

speed.

The use of cruise control can be

dangerous on winding roads or

in heavy traffic because

conditions do not allow safe

driving at a steady speed.


The use of cruise control can be

dangerous on slippery roads.

Rapid changes in tire adhesion

can result in wheel spin and loss

of control.

The "Resume" function should only

be operated if the driver is fully

aware of the previously set speed and

wishes to resume this particular

preset speed.
