WARNING!
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.
Do not allow small children to operate the electric
sun roof.
Never allow fingers or other body parts, or any
object to project through the sun roof opening.
Injury may result.
Make certain that no one gets caught when the
electric sun roof is closed. The key should be
removed from the ignition lock even if the vehicle
will only be left for a short time to prevent
situations such as children or unauthorized
persons opening and closing the electric sun roof
and becoming caught.
