Driving downhill
The vehicle cannot maintain the stored
speed in all driving situations. Always be
prepared to brake the vehicle.
1.
Shift
down before extended downhill
stretches.
In this way you will make use of the en-
gine braking
effect
and relieve the load
on the brakes.
WARNING
The use of the Cruise Control system can
lead to accidents and serious injuries if
traffic
does not allow you to drive at
a safe distance from the vehicle in front at
a constant speed.
·
Never use the Cruise Control system in
heavy
traffic,
if the distance to the vehi-
cles in front is
insufficient,
on steep or
winding roads, on slippery road surfa-
ces e.g. due to snow, ice, wet roads,
loose chippings, or on
flooded
roads.
·
Never use the Cruise Control system
when driving
offroad
or on unpaved
road surfaces.
·
Adapt your speed and distance from
the vehicles ahead to suit visibility,
weather, road and
traffic
conditions.
·
Always switch the Cruise Control sys-
tem
off
after
use to avoid unintentional
speed control.
·
It is dangerous to use a set speed that is
too high for the prevailing road,
traffic
or weather conditions.
