The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during vehicle
operation. The driver is and must always
remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed
and for safe brake operation.
Only use the cruise control if the road, traffic,

travel at a constant speed.

dangerous on winding roads or in heavy
traffic because conditions do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.

spin and loss of control.
