your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).

If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control is disengaged.

If the vehicle has the StabiliTrak

system and begins to limit wheel
spin while using cruise control, the
cruise control automatically
disengages. See StabiliTrak

System on page 9‑41 or Traction
Control System (TCS) on

When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, the
cruise control can be turned
back on.
