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 about
25
mph
(40
km/h).
If
you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.
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 you leavc our cruise control on wher
-
ou’re
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when you don’t want to. You could
be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch
off
until you want to use
cruise control.
