Do not use the cruise control under any of the
following conditions. This may cause loss of
vehicle control: y

y driving on slippery or winding roads
ydriving in heavy traffic
Cruise control enables you to maintain a constant ve-
hicle speed without holding your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal and it is operative when the vehicle speed is
25 mph (40 km/h) or more. Make sure the main switch
is turned “OFF” when the cruise control is not in use to
avoid unintentionally by setting the cruise control. „
