—Alwayspayattentiontothetrafficaround

responsibleforcontrollingyourvehicle

—Forsafetyreasons,cruisecontrolshould not
beusedinthecity,instop-and-gotraffic,on
windingroads,andwhenroadconditionsare
poor(suchasice,fog,gravel,heavyrain,
andconditionsthatcouldlead tohydroplan-
ing),becausethisincreasestheriskofanac-
