Do not use cruise control in the following situa-
tions:
R
In tra c situations where frequent speed
changes are required, e.g. in heavy tra c or on
winding roads.

On slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle
could then skid.
R
If you are driving when visibility is poor.
