  • Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.

  • Do not use Cruise Control when it may be unsafe to keep the vehicle at a constant speed:

    • When driving in heavy traffic, or when traffic conditions make it difficult to drive at a constant speed

    • When driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads

    • When driving on hilly or windy roads

    • When driving in windy areas

    • When driving with limited view (possibly due to bad weather, such as fog, snow, rain and sandstorm)
