Cruise Control (If Equipped)
The cruise control buttons are located on the bottom of
the steering wheel.
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 25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the clutch pedal if you
have a manual transaxle or the parking brake, or the
BRAKE light is on the cruise control will turn 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 enhanced
traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. (See “Traction
Control System” or “Enhanced Traction System” in the
Index.) When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the cruise control back on.
