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, cruise control is turned off.
If the vehicle has StabiliTrak
®
, and the system begins to
limit wheel spin, 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): This button can both activate and turn off
the system. The indicator light on the button turns on
when cruise control is on and turns off when cruise
control is off.
+ RES (Resume/Accelerate): Press to make the
vehicle accelerate or resume to a previously set speed.
SET (Set/Coast): Press to set the speed or make
the vehicle decelerate.
[ (Cancel): Press to cancel cruise control without
erasing the set speed from memory.
