SMART CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING

For your safety, please read the

owner's manual before using the

smart cruise control system.

WARNING

Take the following precautions :

• Always set the vehicle speed

under the speed limit in your

country

• If the smart cruise control is

left on, (cruise indicator in the

instrument cluster illuminat-

ed) the smart cruise control

can be activated unintention-

ally. Keep the smart cruise

control system off (cruise

indicator off) when the smart

cruise control is not being

used.

• Use the smart cruise control

system only when traveling

on open highways in good

weather.

WARNING

The smart cruise control system

is a supplemental system and is

not a substitute for safe driving

practices. It is the responsibility

of the driver to always check the

speed and distance to the vehi-

cle ahead.

• Do not use the smart cruise

control when it may not be

safe to keep the car at a con-

stant speed. For instance:

The Smart Cruise Control System

allows you to program the vehicle to

maintain a constant speed and a

predetermined distance to the vehi-

cle ahead without having to depress

the accelerator or brake pedal.
