Speed Messages on page 5-45.

Locking Rear Axle

Vehicles with a locking rear axle can
give more traction on snow, mud,
ice, sand, or gravel. It works like a
standard axle most of the time, but
when traction is low, this feature will
allow the rear wheel with the most
traction to move the vehicle.

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).
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
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.
Driving and Operating
If equipped with an Allison or
Hydra-Matic 6-speed automatic
transmission, see Tow/Haul Mode
Grade Braking under Tow/Haul
Mode on page 9-38 for an
explanation of how cruise control
interacts with the Range Selection
Mode, Tow/Haul Mode, and Grade
Braking systems.
If the cruise control is being used
and the Traction Control System
(TCS) or StabiliTrak begins to limit
wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control on page 9-50. If a collision
alert occurs when cruise control is
activated, cruise control is
disengaged. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System on page 9-60.
When road conditions allow you to
safely use it again, cruise control
can be turned back on.
If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control disengages.
