Cruise Control (Option)
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 or push the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) the cruise control shuts off.
CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you can’t drive safely at a steady speed.
So, don’t 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.
Don’t use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR) System begins to
limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. (See “ASR System” in the Index.) When
road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you
may turn the cruise control back on.
