Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system,
The cruise control system assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed above approxi-
mately 15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains
the desired speed by braking and accelerating.
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras ® page 120.
~The cruise control system is only an assist
system, and the driver is still responsible for
controlling the vehicle. The driver is espe-
cially responsible for braking, controlling
the speed, and maintaining the distance to
other vehicles.
— Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits,
or in construction zones. This prevents the
vehicle from accelerating to the stored
speed when in these situations.
Before driving downhill a long distance on a
steep hill, decrease your speed and select a
lower gear. This makes use of the engine
braking effect and reduces the load placed on
the brakes.
