Active cruise control is a technological advance
over the familiar cruise control and is a welcome
relief from the constant adjustment of speed

enjoyment of driving. Please use it safely and
responsibly.

applies the brakes if necessary. The vehicle
brake lamps will automatically illuminate to sig-
