Cruise control system
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system,
The cruise control system assists you in main-
taining a constant speed above approximately
15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains the de-
sired speed by braking and accelerating.
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras page 115 to page 118.
~The cruise control system is only an assist
system, and the driver is still responsible for
operating the vehicle. The driver is especial
ly responsible for braking, controlling the
speed, and maintaining the distance to oth-
er vehicles.
— Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits,
or in construction zones. This prevents the
vehicle from accelerating to the stored
speed when in these situations.
Before driving downhill a long distance ona
steep hill, decrease your speed and select a
lower gear. This makes use of the engine
braking effect and reduces the load placed on
the brakes.
