Cruise Control - Pontiac Sunfire 2003 Owner's Manual

Cruise Control

If your vehicle has this feature, you can maintain a
speed of about 25 mph (40 km/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 m/h).
When you apply your brakes, or the clutch pedal if you
have a manual transaxle, the cruise control shuts off.
{
CAUTION:
•
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you can not drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not 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. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
enhanced traction system begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See
Enhanced Traction System (ETS) on page 4-10 . When
road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you
may turn the cruise control back on.
