Cruise Control - Chevrolet 2011 Corvette Coupe Owner's Manual

Cruise Control

With cruise control, a speed of
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can
be maintained without keeping your
foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
Cruise control will not work if the
parking brake is set, or if the master
cylinder brake fluid level is low.
WARNING
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. So, do not use
the cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
If the vehicle is in cruise control,
and has the Traction Control
System (TCS), and it begins to
limit wheel spin, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See
. When road conditions
allow the cruise control to be safely
used again, it can be turned
back on.
The vehicle has cruise control.
(Off): Turns the system off.
