When the Smart Cruise
Control remains ON(CRUISE
indicator on the instrument
cluster illuminates), the Smart
Cruise Control may be unin-
tentionally activated. Keep the
smart cruise control system
OFF(CRUISE indicator OFF),
when the smart cruise control
is not in use, to avoid inadver-
tently setting the system.
Use the smart cruise control system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
Do not use the Smart Cruise Control, when it may be
unsafe to keep the vehicle at a
constant speed, for instance,
driving in heavy or fluctuating
traffic, driving on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
sharply curving roads, or driv-
ing on a slope of 6 degrees or
above.
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.
The smart cruise control sys- tem is not a substitute for
your safe driving practices,
but a mere system for your
convenience. It is the driver's
responsibility to always check
the speed and distance to the
vehicle in front.
