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). Cruise control will not work if the parking brake is set, or if the master cylinder brake fluid level is low. Setting Cruise Control {CAUTION: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control. 1. Move the cruise control switch to on. 2. Get up to the speed desired. 3. Press the set button at the end of the lever and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The cruise symbol on the instrument panel cluster will be lit when the cruise control is engaged. {CAUTION: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not 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 excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. If your vehicle has the traction control system and it begins to limit wheel spin while cruise control is on, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 5-6. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn cruise control back on. 3-13
