8-44 Driving and Operating
Cruise Control
With cruise control, the vehicle can
maintain a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).
If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control is turned off.
If the vehicle has a StabiliTrak
®
or
traction control system and begins
to limit wheel spin while using
cruise control, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See
StabiliTrak System
on page 843
or
Traction Control System (TCS)
on
page 841
. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, the
cruise control can be turned
back on.

Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,

cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
