The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal.
The state where the GRA maintains the speed is referred to hereinafter as the
control.

The GRA only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the re-
sponsibility for the vehicle operation.

Always adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weath-
er, road and traffic conditions.
