CRUISE
CONTROL
With cruise control,
you
can maintain a speed of about
25
rnph
(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
about
25
rnph
(40
km/h).
When
you
apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
A
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
traf‘fic.
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 traction control system begins
to
limit wheel spin, the cruise control
will
automatically disengage. (See
“Traction Control System”
in
the Index.) When road conditions allow
you
to
safely
use
it
again, you
may
turn
the cruise control back
on.
