Cruise Control

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.
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.
If the vehicle has the StabiliTrak
system and begins to limit wheel
spin while using cruise control,
the cruise control automatically
disengages. See StabiliTrak
System on page 9 36 or
Traction Control System (TCS) on
page 9 34. When road conditions
allow the cruise control to be safely
used, you can apply the cruise
control again.
