resume control of the vehicle's
speed.
The vehicle cannot drive off auto-
matically in some situations, for
example:
On steep upward gradients.
Before bumps or rises in the
road.
In such cases, de press the acceler-
ator pedal.
The following restrictions may apply
if the weather or lighting conditions
are unfavourable:
Impaired detection of vehicles.
Brief interruptions when vehicles
have already been detected.
Examples of unfavourable weather
or lighting conditions:
Wet roads.
Snowfall.
Slush.
Fog.
Oncoming light.
Pay attention when driving and
respond to the prev ailing traffic con-
ditions. If necessary, intervene
actively, for example by braking,
steering or taking evasive action.
The desired speed is also main-
tained when driving downhill. The
vehicle may drive slower than the
desired speed on uphill gradients if
there is not enough engine power.
*: if equipped
When the systems in the vehicle
(Speed Limit Info, for example)
detect a change in the speed limit
on the route, it is possible to adopt
this new speed lim it value for the
following systems:
Manual Speed Limiter.
Cruise Control.
Dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range.
The speed value is proposed as a
new desired speed for adopting.
The relevant system must be acti-
vated for the speed value to be
adopted.

4-1. DRIVING HINTS
DRIVING HINTS
When visibility is poor due to fog,
even if it is daytime, turn the low
beam headlights on to make your
vehicle more visible to other vehi-
cles, etc. Drive with caution at a low
speed, using the centerline, guard-
rails, taillights of a preceding vehi-
cle, etc., as guide.
When the vehicle is being blown by
crosswinds, drive at a lower speed
and grip the steering wheel
stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially suscepti-
ble to crosswinds when exiting a
tunnel or underpass, when driving
on a bridge or embankment, or
when passing or being passed by a
truck or other large vehicle.
During a rain storm or when the
road surface is wet, the road sur-
face may be slippery and visibil-
ity may be reduced. In this case,
turn the low beam headlights on
to make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other vehicles, etc.
Increase the distance between
your vehicle and preceding vehi-
cles and drive safely at a lower
speed than normal, avoiding
sudden acceleration, braking or
steering operations.
Use the rear defroster and air
conditioning system to prevent
the windows from fogging up.
Hydroplaning is more likely to
occur when driving on ruts or
through large puddles.
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of
water can form between the tyres
and the road.
Driving in inclement weather
When visibility is poor due to fog
During strong wind
When it is raining
