SPEED CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
With speed control set, you can maintain a speed of 30 mph (48 km/h)
or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. Speed
control does not work at speeds below 30 mph (48 km/h).
If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac
௢ system, the speed control
will automatically disengage when the road conditions change. When
driving conditions permit you can return to speed control by pressing
RESUME on the speed control. For more information on the
AdvanceTrac
௢ system see AdvanceTrac௢ Stability Enhancement
System section in the Driving chapter.
Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that
are winding, slippery or unpaved.
