Cruise Control (if equipped)
If you opted for the Power Package,
your VUE comes with cruise control,

about 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater.
The cruise control buttons are located

cruise control system on or off. The but-
ton's light will illuminate when the sys-
tem is active.

the vehicle speed, or press and hold to
decrease speed when the system is
already active.

ton to resume a previously set speed,
or press and hold button to accelerate
when the system is already active.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Traction Control System
(if equipped)
If your vehicle is a front-wheel-drive
model, it may be equipped with traction
control. This feature activates automati-
cally to reduce engine power when it
senses that one or both of the front
wheels is spinning or is starting to lose
traction.
Four-Cylinder Models
On front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder mod-
els, traction control can be turned off by
using the traction control button located
at the top of your center console, just
below and to the right of the vents.
When the system is active, the light in
the button will illuminate.
Six-Cylinder Models
On front-wheel-drive, six-cylinder mod-
els, the traction control system is always
on, except when the transmission is in
the R (Reverse) or L (Low) position.
When the system is off, a light will
appear in the instrument panel cluster,
indicating that the system is not active.
To turn off the traction control system on
front-wheel-drive, V6 models, simply
move the shift lever into "R" or "L."
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
