The speed is kept constant by modifying engine power or through an
active brake intervention.
& 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 traffic, on twisting roads and when road
conditions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydro-
planing) - 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 driver's acceleration.
(I) Tips
• Vehicles with manual transmission: You can attain the set speed
only if the gear that is currently engaged will allow it, or if it does not
tax the engine and allows it to run smoothly. Therefore shift into a

resume as soon as you let off of the accelerator pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by 5 mph

longer than 5 minutes, the cruise control will be turned off tempo-
