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).
If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control shuts off.

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's StabiliTrak
Control System (TCS) begins to
limit wheel spin while the cruise
control is on, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See
®
StabiliTrak System on page 9 47 or
Traction Control System (TCS) on
page 9 46. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, the
cruise control can be turned
back on.
These controls are located at the
end of the multifunction lever.
