9-50 Driving and Operating
Cruise Control
{
WARNING
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 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can
be maintained without keeping your
foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
When the brakes are applied, the
cruise control turns off.
This vehicle has a Hydra‐Matic
6‐speed automatic transmission,
see “Grade Braking and Cruise
Grade Braking (Allison
Transmission) under Tow/Haul
Mode on page 9‑42 for an
explanation of how cruise control
interacts with the Range Selection
Mode, tow/haul and grade braking
systems.
This vehicle has StabiliTrak and
when the system begins to limit
wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. See
StabiliTrak
®
System on page 9‑46.
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.
I (On/Off): Turns the system on
and off. The indicator light on the
button turns on when cruise control
is on and turns off when cruise
