yellowblue Cruise Control (If Equipped) When you apply your brakes or the parking brake, or the BRAKE light is on or have low brake fluid, the cruise control will turn off. CAUTION: D 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. D The cruise control buttons are located on the bottom of the steering wheel. 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 25 mph (40 km/h). If your vehicle is in cruise control when the enhanced traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. (See "Traction Control System" or "Enhanced Traction System" in the Index.) When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on. 2-34
