PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING

The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.

Cruise control allows you to control your
speed using the switches on the steering
wheel. You can use cruise control when
you exceed approximately 20 mph (30
km/h).

USING CRUISE CONTROL

WARNINGS

Do not use cruise control in heavy
traffic, on winding roads or when the
road surface is slippery. This could

result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.

When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed may increase above
the set speed. The system will not

apply the brakes. Change down a gear to
assist the system in maintaining the set
speed. Failure to do so could result in loss
of vehicle control, serious injury or death.

Note:

Cruise control will disengage if your

vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
(16 km/h) below your set speed while
driving uphill.
