• Use the smart cruise control sys-
tem only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
• Do not use the smart cruise con-
trol when it may not be safe to
keep the car at a constant speed,

• Pay particular attention to the
driving conditions whenever
using the smart cruise control
system.
• Be careful when driving downhill
using the smart cruise control
system, which may increase the
vehicle speed.
• The smart cruise control system
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices but a convenience
function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead.
