The speed control does not adapt itself automati-
cally to road conditions; therefore do not use
cruise control on icy roads. There is a risk of skid-
ding and loss of vehicle control. This could cause
an accident resulting in severe personal injuries,
death and property damage.
WARNING!
In an accident, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sun roof. You
could also be seriously injured or killed. Always
fasten your seatbelt properly and make sure all
passengers are properly secured too.
