Warning!

G

Cruise control brakes automatically so that

the set speed is not exceeded. The brake

pedal is depressed automatically to do this.

Keep in mind that cruise control is a conve-

nience system designed to assist the driver

during vehicle operation. The driver is and

must always remain responsible for the ve-

hicle’s speed and for safe braking operation.

Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times, in-

cluding the area under the brake pedal. Ob-

jects stored in this area may impair pedal

movement which could interfere with the

braking ability of the cruise control system.

Do not place your foot under the brake pedal

- your foot could become caught.
