Cruise control*
The cruise control maintains the speed you
set for your vehicle automatically. On
downhill grades, the cruise control does
not brake the vehicle via the brake system.
The cruise control can only use the braking
power of the engine. You must apply the
brakes yourself in order to reduce the
vehicle speed. The cruise control will then
be canceled. G
WARNING
The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during vehi-
cle operation. The cruise control cannot
take road, traffic, and weather conditions
into account. The driver is and must always
remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed
and for safe brake operation. Do not use the cruise control
R
if the road, traffic, and weather condi-
tions do not make it advisable to travel
at a constant speed
R on slippery roads
Rapid changes in tire traction can result
in wheel spin and loss of control.
R when driving in fog
The use of the cruise control is recom-
mended for driving at a constant speed for
extended periods of time.
