because conditions do not allow safe
driving at a steady speed.

lever found on the left-hand side of the
steering column (୴ page 18).

ous on slippery roads. Rapid changes in
tire traction can result in wheel spin and
loss of control.
Deactivate cruise control when driving
in fog.
The “Resume” function should only be oper-
ated if the driver is fully aware of the previ-
ously set speed and wishes to resume this
particular preset speed.
