Setting Cruise Control - Chevrolet 2008 Corvette Owner's Manual

With cruise control, 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 km/h).
Cruise control will not work if your parking brake is set,
or if the master cylinder brake fluid level is low.
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.
If your vehicle is in cruise control, and has the Traction
Control System (TCS), and it begins to limit wheel
spin, the cruise control automatically disengages.
See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it again,
you can turn cruise control back on.
