WARNING
It could be dangerous to use the cruise con-

stant speed.

driving in dense traffic, on roads with lots of
bends or on roads with poor conditions (with
ice, slippery surfaces, loose grit or gravel), as
this c
ould cause an accident.
●
Always switch the cruise control system off
after using it in order to avoid involuntary
use.
●
It is dangerous to use a set speed which is
too high for the current road, traffic or weath-
er conditions. Risk of accident.
Note
The cruise control cannot maintain a constant
s
peed when des
cending downhill. It will in-
crease due to its own weight. Use the foot
brake to slow the vehicle.
