Cruise Control

Do not use the cruise control system when driv-
ing conditions do not permit maintaining a con-
stant speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads
9
that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or
roads with a loose driving surface. Failure to fol-
low this precaution could cause a collision or
12
loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage.
When the cruise control is engaged, do not at-
tempt to shift gears without using the clutch
pedal. Failure to follow this precaution will result
in a temporarily uncontrolled increase in engine
speed. Transmission damage and gear stripping
could result.
IMPORTANT: On vehicles equipped with
VORAD Collision Warning System with Smart-
Cruise, see
cruise control.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a Detroit
multifunction control, setting the cruise control
with the engine brake on will activate Descent
Control Mode. Moving the lever to the top posi-
tion will resume the set cruise speed. Moving
the lever down to engage the engine brake after
the cruise control has been set will activate De-
celeration Mode. See "Descent Control and De-
celeration Modes, Detroit
sions" in this chapter.
The cruise control is operated by four buttons
mounted in the left-hand button pod of the steering
wheel. See
•
ON/OFF Button—Press to turn cruise control
on or off. When cruise control is on, a green
telltale illuminates in the ICU. The speed
memory will be retained until the cruise control
is disabled with the ON/OFF button, or the igni-
tion is turned off.
