Cruise Control

Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. 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).
When the brakes are applied, cruise
control is turned off.
This vehicle has a Hydra-Matic
6-speed automatic transmission,
see Grade Braking under Tow/Haul
Mode on page 9-32 for an
explanation of how cruise control
interacts with the Range Selection
Mode, tow/haul and grade braking
systems.
This vehicle has StabiliTrak and
when the system begins to limit
wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. See
®
StabiliTrak System on page 9-35.
When road conditions allow the
cruise control to be safely used
again, it can be turned back on.

system on or off. A white cruise
control indicator comes on when
cruise control is on and turns off
when cruise control is off.
