Cruise Control With cruise control, you can maintain a speed about of 25 mph (40 k b or more m) without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. 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. Cruise controldoes not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional 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. 2-39
