Cruise Control System (CCS) -> Indicator lights for Your Volkswagen Passat SUV Seventh Generation (2010-2014)

WARNING  
Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely  
at a constant speed can be dangerous and can lead to an acci-  
dent and serious personal injuries.  
Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying  
traffic or when you cannot keep a safe distance between you  
and the vehicles ahead of you.  
Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads  
(such gravel roads, wet roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on  
roads with standing water.  
Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved  
roads.  
Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between  
you and the vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather,  
and visibility conditions.  
To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control,  
switch the system off when it is not being used.  
It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previous-  
ly set speed is too high for the existing road, traffic, or weather  
conditions.  
When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to  
maintain a constant speed. The vehicle will speed up because  
of its own weight. Downshift and/or use the foot brake to slow  
the vehicle.
