Cruise Control

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.
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 Traction Control System (TCS)
®
or StabiliTrak electronic stability
control system begins to limit wheel
spin while using cruise control, the
cruise control automatically
disengages. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 240.
If a collision alert occurs when
cruise control is activated, cruise
control is disengaged. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 259.
When road conditions allow the
cruise control to be safely used,
cruise control can be turned
back on.
Turning off the TCS or StabiliTrak
system will disengage the cruise
control.
If the brakes are applied, cruise
control disengages.
