Therefore, it can under no circum-

stances replace the driver’s respon-

sibility to respect speed limits and to

be vigilant (the driver must always

be ready to brake).

The cruise control function helps you to

maintain your driving speed at a speed

that you choose, called the cruising

speed.

This cruising speed may be set at any

speed above 19 mph (30 km/h).

Cruise control must not be used in

heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-

pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-

ing, gravel) and during bad weather

(fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

eral attempts to activate

it), contact an Approved

Dealer.
