Cruise Control - Cadillac 2008 DTS Owner's Manual

Cruise Control

With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful
on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When cruise control
is on, you will see a cruise light on the instrument
panel cluster.
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
CAUTION:
{
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot 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 excessive wheel slip,
and you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
3-16
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control automatically turns off. See Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-5. When road
conditions let you safely use it again, you can turn
the cruise control back on.
Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
{
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
