WARNING
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. So, do not use
the cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.

fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use

thumbwheel down toward SET/- to
set a speed and activate cruise
control, or to make the vehicle
decelerate.
