PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
control when your vehicle speed is greater
than 20 mph (30 km/h).

roads, in heavy traffic or when the

vehicle speed could increase above
the set speed. The system does not
apply the brakes.
