Cadillac 2009 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more can be maintained without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work
at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). A cruise control
light appears in the instrument panel cluster when the
cruise control is on.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
{ CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, 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.
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 4-6. When road
conditions let you safely use it again, the cruise
control can be turned back on.
