Cruise Control (If Equipped)
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 k m / h ) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise
control does not work at speeds below about
25
mph
(40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes or push the clutch pedal
(if you have a manual transaxle), the cruise control
shuts off.
A
CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can't drive safely at a steady speed. So,
don't use your 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 needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don't
use cruise control on slippery roads.
