switch the system on.
"'Drive at the speed to be controlled.
"' Press button @to set that speed.
The stored speed and the indicator light
[ij;jl)~i~ (US model)/BI (Canadian model) appear
in the instrument cluster display¢
fig. 109. The
display may va ry, depending on the type of dis­
play in your vehicle .
The speed is kept constant by modifying engine
power or through an active brake intervention.
A WARNING
- 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 reasons of safety, cruise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on twisting roads and when road condi­
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy rain and hydroplaning) -you could
have 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 causes
cruise control not to brake. This is due to the
control system being overridden by the driv­
er's acceleration.
- Never use the cruise control when driving
off-road or on unpaved roads . The cruise
control is intended for use only when the ve­
hicle is being operated on paved roads, and
is not suitable for use off-road or on un­
paved roads.
- If a brake system malfunction such as over­ heating occurs when the cruise control sys­
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off. The other
cruise control functions remain active as
long as the indicator
light[ij;11 )~1~ (US mod­
el)/lil (Canadian model) is on.

sume as soon as you let off of the accelerator
pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by
S mph (10 km/h) for longer than 5 minutes, the
cruise control will be turned off temporarily. The
green symbol in the display turns white, the
