Cruise control lever

The cruise control lever is the upper-
most lever on the left of the steering col-
umn.

Warning

G

The cruise control function cannot take
account of road and traffic conditions.

Always pay attention to road and traffic
conditions, even when cruise control is
activated.

Cruise control is only an aid designed to
assist driving. You are responsible for the
vehicle’s speed and for braking in good
time.

If there is a change of drivers, advise the
new driver of the cruising speed that is
stored.

Warning

G

Do not use cruise control:

ț if road and traffic conditions do not

permit a constant driving speed to be
maintained (e.g. heavy traffic or wind-
ing roads). You could otherwise cause
an accident.

ț on slippery roads. The drive wheels

may lose their grip when braking or
accelerating and the vehicle could
skid

ț when visibility is poor, e.g. in fog,

heavy rain or snow

i

Cruise control may be unable to

maintain the stored speed on uphill

or downhill gradients. The stored

speed is resumed if the gradient

evens out and the vehicle’s speed

has not fallen below 20 mph

(30 km/h).
