Cruise Control With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or morewithout keeping your foot on the accelerator. This canreally help on long trips. Cruise control does 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 traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. (See "Traction Control System" in the Index.) When roadconditions allow you to safely useit again, you may turn the cruise control back on. Setting Cruise Control Cruise control can be dangerous where you can't drive safely at a steady speed. So, don't use your cruise controlon 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, andyou could lose control. Don't use cruise control on slippery roads. If you leave your cruise control switch when on you'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 OFF until you want the cruise control switch to use it.
