ed), the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally.
Keep the cruise control sys-
tem off (CRUISE indicator

control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
 Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
 Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to
keep the vehicle at a constant
speed, for instance, driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on
slippery (rainy, icy or snow-
covered) or winding roads or
over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.

using the cruise control sys-
tem.
