DRIVER ASSISTANCE
Cruise Control
Cruise control helps to maintain an
even road speed without using the
accelerator pedal, which can benefit
the driver when driving on motorways
or long, straight roads in regular traffic
flows.
WARNING: Use only when road
and traffic conditions allow.
Driver assistance systems such
as cruise control are developed
to support the driver and not to
replace the driver’s attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
The driver should be prepared to
take over control of vehicle speed
to avoid hazardous or poor road
surface conditions & maintain
distance from preceding traffic.
Cruise control can be selected above
speeds of 20 mph.
Vehicle speed can be set in either
5 mph or 1 mph increments. Cruise
control cannot be used if track mode is
selected.
Standby Mode
Cruise control is operated using the
switches on left-hand side steering
wheel keypad.
