Cruise Control
If your vehicle is equipped 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).
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 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 traction
control system (optional) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See
Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-8. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
turn the cruise control back on.
