Cruise Control
{ 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.
With cruise control, a speed of about 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).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control turns off.
If your vehicle has the StabiliTrak
®
system and begins
to limit wheel spin while you are using cruise control, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See
StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-6. When road conditions
allow the cruise control to be safely used again, it
can be turned back on.
The cruise control buttons
are located on left side of
the steering wheel.
T (On/Off): Turns the system on and off. The
indicator light is on when cruise control is on and turns
off when cruise control is off.
+ RES (Resume/Accelerate): This makes the vehicle
accelerate or resume to a previously set speed.
SET (Set/Coast): Sets the speed or makes the
vehicle decelerate.
[ (Cancel): Cancels the cruise control without erasing
the set speed from memory.
